Postdoc Positions

PoLS Postdoctoral Fellowships (multiple available)

The Physics of Living Systems (PoLS) Student Research Network at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GT) invites applications for multiple PoLS Postdoctoral Fellowships. The successful applicants will join the GT node of the National Science Foundation funded Student Research Network. Successful applicants will work with faculty in the GT node on projects at the interface of physics and biology. Candidates with backgrounds in biological physics, biorobotics, soft condensed matter, and nonlinear dynamics are encouraged to apply. Candidates are expected to have a Ph.D. in physics, biophysics, applied mathematics, mechanical engineering, or a related field. Ideal candidates will have a demonstrated ability to conduct independent high-impact research.

Appointments are available immediately. To apply, please e-mail info@pols.gatech.edu with a curriculum vitae (CV) along with a one page statement of how your research interests are related to this position. In addition, please arrange to have two letters of recommendation e-mailed to the same address. Applications will be considered immediately and the search will continue until all positions are filled.

Postdoc Positions & Grants

James S. McDonnell Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship Award in Studying Complex Systems

The Studying Complex Systems program supports scholarship and research directed toward the development of theoretical and mathematical tools contributing to the science of complex, adaptive, nonlinear systems. While the program's emphasis is on the development and application of the theory and tools used in the study of complex research questions and not on particular fields of research per se, JSMF is particularly interested in the continued development of complex systems science, and in projects attempting to apply complex systems approaches to coherently articulated questions.
