We are looking for John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows in the life sciences, who will be appointed for an initial three years and will form a small community of exciting young scientists both by interacting with each other and with their counterparts in the life sciences. If you're a physical scientist, you're getting this email because you might have run into someone in the life sciences who seems appropriate for this fellowship or know colleagues in the life sciences who you could pass this request on to. Briefly, i) we are looking for extremely bright and creative young scientists from across the full breadth of the life sciences, including those with training in theory and computation, ii) we will give the successful applicant the space, facilities,and money to run a three-person research group for five years, iii) each Fellow will have a formal affiliation with and participate in the intellectual life of one of the life science departments, iv) the Fellow will teaching responsibilities byparticipating in the research laboratories of a new Integrated Science course (https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/ls50), v) the Fellow will be intensely mentored by participating in a weekly communal lab meeting, meeting me monthly, having their paper drafts and grant applications read and critiqued, and meeting with a three person mentoring committee twice a year, and vi) the new Fellows will be located in the Northwest Building next to the John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows (https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram). If you know anyone fabulous, please tell them to apply, and, if you've time, please let us know that you have. Details on how to apply are at:*http://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/8627* The application deadline is* 11:59pm EST, on Thursday, February 28, 2019*. Many, many thanks, Andrew *Information about the Fellows Program* The John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellow’s program is an initiative in Faculty of Arts and Sciences to recruit bright young scientists to work as independent researchers at Harvard. There are separate searches for Fellows in the physical and life sciences, but the Fellows appointed by these searches form a single intellectual community. The life science Fellows are young, independent researchers usually straight out of their PhD who are appointed initially for three years, and carries an expectation of extension by a further two years. Each fellow has the support of a mentoring committee comprising of three faculty who are interested in the fellow's area of research. As fellows move on to faculty positions, we replace them with new fellows; this year we are looking to hire one new fellow.  Because we strongly believe that solving exciting problems will require combining different approaches, we are particularly interested in recruiting fellows with broad scientific interests and a taste for collaboration. We strongly encourage applications from women and minority candidates.
