Department / Area

Position Description

We are looking for independent postdoctoral fellows to work at the interface between the life and mathematical sciences as part of Harvard’s Initiative in Quantitative Biology and its NSF / Simons Center for the Mathematical and Statistical Analysis of Biology.

Funds from the Simons Foundation will support the fellow for three years. If their work is theoretical or computational, fellows can work fully independently, whereas if their work has an experimental component it will be located in the labs of one of the 21 faculty who are associated with the grant.

We are especially interested in those whose graduate training is in mathematics and statistics and are interested in applying their knowledge and creativity to biological problems.

These positions will be funded for 3 years. The program seeks to appoint researchers who have completed a Ph.D. within 18 months of their appointment.

The appointment is expected to begin on or after January 1, 2020. This application is now open until filled.

The original search has been extended beyond its original term. A short list of candidates will be invited to present their work at a symposium on a date TBD.

Basic Qualifications

Ph.D. obtained within the last 18 months.

Additional Qualifications

Finalist will be required to attend a two day symposium and interview, on dates to be announced.
