Simons Postdoctoral Fellows in Mathematical Biology at the University of 
Pennsylvania


The Program for Mathematical Biology of the University of Pennsylvania 
solicits applications for the Simons Postdoctoral Fellows in 
Mathematical Biology, as part of the Math + X activities supported by 
the Simons Foundation. Fellows will be intellectually independent, but 
supervised by two faculty mentors, one in the biological sciences and 
another in the mathematical sciences. Research areas of interest to 
prospective faculty mentors include mathematical modeling in 
evolutionary biology and ecology, genetics, biophysics and physiology as 
well as the mathematical analysis associated with problems that arise in 
these areas. The prospective applicant should have completed his/her 
Ph.D. in some area of mathematical biology, but any strong candidate 
whose work and experience has significant overlap with the areas 
mentioned above is welcome to apply. Such areas may include dynamical 
systems, the analysis of PDE, numerical analysis and scientific 
computing, probability theory, soft condensed matter physics or fluid 
mechanics.


We anticipate sustained intellectual activity in the Program with 
subsequent cohorts of fellows in future years, a regular seminar 
series, short- and long-term visitors, as well as workshops in specific 
areas of mathematical biology, as supported by the Simons Foundation. 
The Simons Postdoctoral Fellows are invited to be active participants in 
these activities.


The term of the Simons Postdoctoral Fellowship is two years, with a 
possibility of renewal for a third year. The starting annual salary is 
$63,000 plus benefits, with annual discretionary funds of $5,000 that 
the Simons Fellow may use for travel or supplies (computers etc.). The 
position comes with no teaching responsibilities, but teaching 
opportunities may be available if the Fellow desires.


Applications should be submitted through MathJobs:

https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/14272 
<https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/14272>


Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. 
Prospective Fellows are encouraged to contact possible mentors in 
advance of submitting an application. The anticipated start date is Fall 
2019, but will be determined on a case-by-case basis.


Any questions about the fellowships should be directed to Yoichiro Mori 
(y1mori at math.upenn.edu <mailto:y1mori at math.upenn.edu>) or to Joshua 
Plotkin (jplotkin at sas.upenn.edu <mailto:jplotkin at sas.upenn.edu>), Co 
Directors of the Simons Program in Mathematical Biology at the 
University of Pennsylvania.

The University of Pennsylvania is strongly committed to Penn's Action 
Plan for Faculty Diversity and Excellence and to creating a more diverse 
faculty (for more information

<http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v58/n02/diversityplan.html> The 
University of Pennsylvania is an EOE. Minorities/Women/Individuals with 
disabilities/Protected Veterans are encouraged to apply.
