They are intended for early-career theoretical scientists, broadly construed, including the fields of astrophysics, biology, chemistry, geosciences, physics, and engineering. The nominees should be individuals with outstanding talent and accomplishment who are eager to broaden their scientific horizons. We particularly encourage nominations of qualified candidates who are women or members of other groups that are underrepresented in the theoretical sciences. Fellows receive a three-year appointment in the Center fully supported by Center funds, an office in the Center facility, and have full freedom to develop their scientific interests with the support and mentoring of the senior Faculty Fellows. It is our intention that the Center experience will have a profound impact on the scientific development and future careers of the Fellows. > > The deadline for receipt of the Postdoctoral nomination, reference letters, and supporting materials from the nominee is October 15, 2014 so it is important for you to submit your nomination as soon as possible to give your candidate and their references time to complete their parts. > > The nomination process is very simple: go to our website > http://pcts.princeton.edu/pcts > > and submit the candidate’s name, email address, and a nomination letter. The nominees will then be sent information necessary to complete their application and to submit letters for reference. > > The PCTS Faculty Fellows begin evaluation and invitation to interview on October 15, 2014. (The website will continue to accept late nominations and applications, but there can be no assurance they will be considered.) > > The mission of the Center is to foster interaction and collaboration between theorists across the natural sciences at Princeton to enhance research and education. We pursue this goal through our Center Postdoctoral Fellowships and our sponsorship of focused programs of study in frontier areas in theoretical science that cut across traditional disciplinary boundaries. A group of Senior Faculty Fellows, coming from a broad range of disciplines and departments, take active responsibility for guiding the intellectual life of the Center. > > Sincerely, > > Paul Steinhardt, Director steinh(a)princeton.edu > Igor Klebanov, Associate Director klebanov(a)princeton.edu > > Princeton University is an equal opportunity employer.

[Compbio-allhands] Immediately available: Postdoctoral positions in Theoretical and Computational Biophysics
by David Sivak 13 Aug '14

13 Aug '14

Dear friends and colleagues, This fall I start my own research group in the Physics Department at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, British Columbia (Canada!). In the near future, I hope to hire two exceptional, highly-motivated postdoctoral fellows to work on theoretical and computational biophysics. (I’m also on the lookout for talented undergraduates considering graduate study in biophysics.) Please forward this announcement to any interested parties. My group combines approaches from physics, information theory, and statistics to study the fundamental principles of biomolecular function under strong fluctuations. One postdoctoral position focuses on the design principles for efficient transduction of energy and information in molecular machines; the other opening is for the development of model comparison methods to interpret structural biology experiments, especially X-ray crystallography. Within these broad research thrusts there is ample freedom to pursue particular areas of personal scientific interest. Our theoretical flights of fancy are tethered to reality through close collaborations with experimentalists at SFU, UC Berkeley, and UC San Francisco. Postdoctoral fellows in my group will work in the intellectually-stimulating and interactive biophysics community within SFU Physics, with close ties to the Chemistry and Molecular Biology/Biochemistry departments, and frequent scientific exchange with allied departments at the University of British Columbia. In my own (possibly biased) opinion, the endless all-season outdoors opportunities, mind-blowing food from all ethnicities, and mild weather make Vancouver an enviable place to call home; slightly more objectively, it makes every official top 5 list of most livable cities in the world. The ideal candidate would have experience with computer programming, biomolecular modeling and statistical mechanics, and a PhD in a relevant field (broadly construed: physics, biophysics, chemistry, bio- or chemical-engineering, molecular biology, or relevant areas of statistics, computer science, applied math, etc). But most important is intellectual curiosity, enthusiasm for research in this area, and an excellent track record in whatever field they have pursued. Interested candidates should send me a cover letter and CV (including publication list and contact information for 2-3 references). Further information is available at: http://www.sfu.ca/physics/sivakgroup/ Thank you in advance!
