Position:

Emory Computational and Life Sciences (CLS) Independent Career Development Postdoctoral Fellowships 

Application Deadline: Open Until Filled 

Job Description:

The Computational and Life Sciences Strategic Initiative (CLS) at Emory University explores new scientific frontiers at the interface of computation, synthetic sciences and systems biology. CLS encompasses three broad focus areas: Computational Science and Informatics (modeling, simulation, and information-based knowledge discovery), Synthetic Sciences (synthetic biology, chemical biology, biomaterials science, and bio-nanoscience), and Systems Biology (exploration of living systems across multiple scales via high-throughput quantitative methods).

Emory seeks the best and brightest young scholars for a prestigious appointment, the CLS Independent Career Development Postdoctoral Fellowship. These will be three-year appointments with unparalleled independence and generous resources. The fellowship starts at $50,000 per year and includes up to $25,000 in discretionary research funds depending on the area of investigation. Strong preference will be given to applicants who design and propose an independent project that draws on the strengths of, and fosters collaboration between, at least two CLS faculty members. For a list of CLS faculty and their areas of interest see http://www.cls.emory.edu. It is expected that the proposed project will form the basis of the applicant’s ongoing independent career. To prepare the applicant for future scholarly success, he/she may be engaged in additional career development activities including academic course work, training in ethics, mentorship and personnel management as well as teaching opportunities and grant writing workshops (see http://www.cls.emory.edu/career). It is expected that Fellows will apply for independent research funding in the first year of support. There will be up to five fellows appointed each year.

A complete application (consisting of the following, preferably in PDF) should be submitted to the Education Committee, Computational and Life Sciences, Emory University, by email to cls-postdoc-apply@emory.edu.

- A full CV.

-Unofficial transcripts of undergraduate and graduate course work (official transcripts will be required at the time of interview).

-A detailed statement of proposed research (5 page limit). The description should include the names of the proposed co-mentors and a description of how the proposed project will benefit from association with these CLS faculty.

-Letters (or email correspondence) from the CLS faculty who will co-mentor and collaborate with the Fellow describing the resources they will contribute (space, mentoring activities, research funds, additional resources, etc).

-A proposed budget for discretionary research funds with a short justification.
