[Job-offers-cs] NITMB Postdoctoral Fellows: Call for Applications

[Pekka Orponen]

*NITMB is seeking early-career researchers who have interest in 
transforming biological research and inspiring new mathematical discoveries.
*
This opportunity is open to researchers who want to develop 
mathematical, theoretical, and computational approaches to study any 
area of biology. NITMB Fellows conduct independent research programs, in 
collaboration with NITMB faculty members or others outside the 
Institute, focused on developing new mathematics and statistics relevant 
to challenges in biology. This call is aimed at young scientists trained 
in mathematical, computational, and theoretical biology and related 
disciplines with exceptional research promise and with an interest in 
exploring new opportunities and challenges emerging from biological 
phenomena. Prior experience with biology is a plus but not required. The 
Fellows will be part of a large endeavor to build new bridges between 
mathematics, theory, and biological disciplines.

Applicants will need to have completed a doctoral degree by September 1, 
2026 in one of the following fields:

     Mathematical and Physical Sciences
     Biological Sciences
     Computer Science
     Engineering
     or related fields

This three-year postdoctoral fellowship offers a competitive salary and 
a generous research budget. The goal of the fellowship is to empower an 
early-career scholar to define their research path with opportunities 
for collaboration with NITMB members.

Appointments can start as early as April 1, 2026, but no later than 
January 1, 2027, and will be at the internal University rank of 
Postdoctoral Scholar. This position is open to individuals less than 
seven years post-attainment of their Ph.D. degree.
