Simons Postdoctoral Fellows in Mathematical Biology at the University of 
Pennsylvania

The Center for Mathematical Biology at the University of Pennsylvania 
solicits applications for 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 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 Center for 
Mathematical Biology, including 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. Simons 
Postdoctoral Fellows are invited to be active participants in these 
activities.

The initial appointment of the Simons Postdoctoral Fellowship will be 
for a term of one year, with the expectation that renewal for up to two 
additional years will be possible. The annual salary and benefits are 
competitive, and the position includes annual discretionary funds for 
travel or supplies (computers etc.). The position comes with no teaching 
responsibilities, but teaching opportunities may be available if the 
Fellow desires.

The Penn’s School of Arts and Sciences is committed to fostering an 
intellectually diverse community. We strongly encourage applications 
from women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, veterans, and 
under-represented communities in natural sciences.

Applications should be submitted online throughwww.mathjobs.org. 
Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled, but will 
be reviewed starting Dec. 15. Prospective Fellows are encouraged to 
contact possible mentors in advance of submitting an application. The 
anticipated start date is summer/fall of 2020, but will be determined on 
a case-by-case basis.

Information about the Center for Mathematical Biology and a list of 
possible mentors and their research interests can be found 
athttp://web.sas.upenn.edu/math-bio. The prospective applicant may 
contact the Center at math-bio at sas.upenn.edu for any questions about the 
fellowships.

The Center for Mathematical Biology is strongly committed to Penn’s 
Action Plan for Faculty Diversity and Excellence and to creating a more 
diverse faculty (for more information see: 
http://www.upenn.edu/almanac/volumes/v58/n02/diversityplan.html). The 
University of Pennsylvania is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Minorities, 
women, individuals with disabilities and protected veterans are 
encouraged to apply.
