The Department of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh (Oakland 
campus) invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work with 
Professor Jonathan Rubin for 1.5 years, with possible extension, 
starting in August 2021. Applications may be submitted at: 
*https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/fellowship/16765*

The research area is flexible, but the main directions of interest 
include multiple timescale dynamics and the modeling and analysis of 
network dynamics in biology with a focus on (but not restricted to) 
neuroscience. Candidates should have a strong background in dynamical 
systems and some expertise in computation such as with Python, MATLAB, 
AUTO or XPP.  Candidates may be expected to participate in discussions 
with experimentalists and analysis of data as part of their research. 
Responsibilities include teaching one course per semester, participating 
in research seminars, and the possible mentoring of undergraduate students.

Pittsburgh is a medium-sized city with a relatively low cost of living 
and many of the amenities and cultural opportunities of a larger city. 
The neuroscience community in Pittsburgh is broad and diverse, with more 
than 100 faculty members affiliated with the Center for Neuroscience at 
the University of Pittsburgh and the joint Pitt-Carnegie Mellon 
University Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition.

/Required Qualifications/:

Completion of a Ph.D. degree in mathematics or a closely related field 
is required prior to the start of appointment. Applicants should have 
some form of experience teaching in mathematics.

/Application Instructions/:

A complete application consists of: (1) curriculum vitae including 
courses taught and list of programming skills, (2) statement of research 
interests, (3) at least two letters of recommendation, and (4) a cover 
letter for the application briefly commenting on fit for the position 
and evidence of commitment to diversity and inclusion. Any additional 
relevant supporting material submitted will be considered by Professor 
Rubin.   Application review will begin in December 2020 and will 
continue until the position is filled.

The Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences is committed to fostering a 
diverse, inclusive environment.  The University of Pittsburgh is an 
Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer and values equality of 
opportunity, human dignity and diversity.  Members of all groups under 
represented in academia are especially encouraged to apply.
