Simons-NCBS / iTHEMS-RIKEN International Postdoctoral Fellowships
in Theoretical Biology
------------------------
https://ithems.riken.jp/opport
https://www.ncbs.res.in/academ
----
The Interdisciplinary Theoretical and Mathematical Sciences Program at RIKEN and the Simons Centre for study of Living Machines at NCBS are premier centres for research in interdisciplinary life sciences. The two centres jointly host this prestigious international postdoctoral fellowship program in theoretical biology.
We are targeting creative, adventurous and independent post-doctoral researchers who wish to participate in a unique international collaboration. They should have primary training in mathematics, physics or computer science, and a desire to tackle deep problems in biology, but no prior training in biology is assumed. Successful candidates will be given great independence to formulate and drive the project, within the broad scope of the themes mentioned below. The projects will involve a combination of mathematical modelling, numerical simulations, and statistical analysis of experimental data.
Applicants should submit their latest CV, PDF versions of 1-3 first-author publications, and at least 2 letters of references. They should also submit a 1-page personal statement in which they outline their research background and interests, and indicate which of the two themes below they wish to apply under. More details can be found on the program website.
Each Simons-NCBS iTHEMS-RIKEN Fellow will be expected to spend equal amounts of time between the two host institutions (NCBS Campus Bangalore and RIKEN, Wako Campus, Tokyo) with specific timelines decided in consultation with the host groups and based on the requirements of the project. Simons-NCBS PIs: Prof. Shachi Gosavi, Prof. Sandeep Krishna, Prof. Madan Rao, Prof. Mukund Thattai, Prof. Shashi Thutupalli. iTHEMS-RIKEN PIs: Dr. Atsushi Mochizuki, Dr. Masashi Tachikawa, Dr. Tetsuo Hatsuda, Dr. Takashi Tsuboi, Dr. Shigehiro Nagataki.
