As we hope you know, we have > been building a group in this area at Princeton over the last decade, and > we now have a robust activity that involves students, postdocs and faculty > from several departments. We are actively recruiting postdocs to join this > group, and we hope that you will urge any outstanding prospective or > recent PhD students of your acquaintance to apply to any of the following > positions for which they might be eligible (please note and do point out that > the mid-October application deadlines for all positions have been extended > to November 15!). > > 1. Postdoctoral Associate in our group. This is a regular Physics > postdoctoral position, but one in which the incumbent has great freedom to > choose projects, and can benefit from the mentorship of any of the senior > members of our group (or linear combinations thereof). Past holders of > this position have had a remarkable record of success in landing > next-level positions in the field of biophysics.

Postdoctoral Fellow of the Princeton Center for Theoretical Science > (PCTS). The PCTS sponsors interdisciplinary research based in theoretical > physics and the PCTS Faculty Fellows select three new Fellows each year > from a pool of candidates in all fields of theory. The PCTS provides a > unique environment for exceptional recent PhDs in theoretical physics, > broadly construed, to broaden their horizons and explore new fields. > Candidates must be nominated by senior scientists. Nominations of > biological physicists are encouraged, and Fellows with such interests > would be welcomed as participants in our group. Appointments to this > position are at the level of Associate Research Scholar. Please consult > http://pcts.princeton.edu/pcts <http://pcts.princeton.edu/pcts> for more information. > > 3. Lewis-Sigler Theory Fellow. The Lewis-Sigler Institute (LSI), a joint > venture of the Physics and Molecular Biology (and other) departments, > offers five-year positions at the level of Associate Research Scholar that > carry extra resources and the opportunity to teach in innovative > undergraduate programs. These positions are appropriate for exceptional newly- > minted PhD’s who are ready to lead their own group. LSI Theory Fellows are > selected by the full LSI faculty, but typically work very closely with our > group. Application procedures will be described on the LSI website. Applicants > to (1) who wish to also be considered as Lewis-Sigler Theory Fellows should so > indicate in their cover letter. > > We emphasize that we are interested in applications from students > with exceptional theoretical skills and a strong motivation to use > these skills to pursue biological problems, independent of the depth of their > research experience in biology. Many of our most successful postdocs have > learned their biology "on the job", and we think that we provide an > outstanding environment for such learning.
