<p><b>NITMB is seeking early-career researchers who have interest in
transforming biological research and inspiring new mathematical
discoveries.<br>
</b><br>
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.<br>
<br>
Applicants will need to have completed a doctoral degree by
September 1, 2026 in one of the following fields:<br>
<br>
Mathematical and Physical Sciences<br>
Biological Sciences<br>
Computer Science<br>
Engineering<br>
or related fields<br>
<br>
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.<br>
