From: "Christopher M. Smith" <csmith@ctbp.ucsd.edu> Subject: CTBP 2012 Postdoctoral Fellowships Date: December 7, 2011 3:04:09 PM PST To: sali@salilab.org
On behalf of Profs Herbert Levine, Jose Onuchic and Peter Wolynes, I am happy to announce that the Center for Theoretical Biological Physics at Rice University (Houston, Texas) and the University of California San Diego will be offering several Postdoctoral Fellowships in Biological Physics in 2012 for positions at Rice and UCSD.
I would greatly appreciate your assistance in conveying this opportunity to graduate students in your lab and/or department who will be looking for postdoctoral positions next year. I have also taken the liberty of attaching CTBP Postdoctoral Fellowship recruitment flyers for both the positions at Rice and UCSD.

CTBP is a consortium of researchers from UCSD, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Rice University, involved in research on fundamental problems at the interface between physics and biology. Current synergy research areas include, Cellular Tectonics, the dynamic mesoscale structure of the intracellular milieu; Computational Approaches to Intracellular and Intercellular Communication, chemical-based reaction-diffusion governed communication across complex spaces; and Gene Regulatory Networks, genetic/signaling networks exhibit specificity and robustness in the face of intrinsic stochasticity, and yet retain evolvability. Our research ranges from fundamental issues in molecular biophysics, cell and multicellular biology, and genetic networks to pressing biomedical questions raised by the study of diseases such as cancer.
We are actively recruiting recent quantitative science (physics, mathematics, chemistry, etc.) Ph.D. graduates for postdoctoral positions beginning in 2012. We are looking to fill several positions with postdoctoral candidates that are well-versed in quantitative science, but who are very interested in learning and tackling research problems in the realm of biology and biomedicine. Previous experience in working on living systems may be beneficial, but is not necessary. CTBP postdoctoral scholars will participate in leading-edge research with world-renowned faculty and at the same time will be provided opportunities to expand career-enhancing skill sets (grant writing, teaching, mentoring undergraduate research students/projects, etc.). CTBP postdoctoral scholars will also share in unique opportunities to gain hands-on experience in biological techniques while working closely with experimental scientists. An initial review of applications will begin in early February 2012.
