Postdocs
A postdoctoral scientist position (2-3 yrs) is available at Georgia Tech in the theoretical biology group of Dr. Joshua Weitz (School of Biology). Candidates should be interested in computational and quantitative approaches to the study of integrative biological systems across multiple scales. Opportunities exist for collaboration with researchers at Emory University, Georgia Tech, Princeton University, and University of California-Davis, as well as for the initiation of independent projects in theoretical ecology & integrative biology. Requirements include: (1) PhD in biology, ecology, mathematics, physics, or related area; (2) Strong quantitative skills; (3) Excellent communication skills. Start date is negotiable, competitive salary and benefits, search will remain open until filled.
