[grad-students] Centre for Mathematical Medicine Postdoctoral Fellowships

[Alison Conway]

====================================================
CMM-FIELDS POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS 2011-12
====================================================

The Centre for Mathematical Medicine (CMM), hosted at the Fields
Institute, invites applications from candidates for two Fields-CMM
postdoctoral fellowships of a duration of one year to commence July 1,
2011 (or on a negotiable date thereafter).

Candidates should have strong interest in current interdisciplinary
activity at the Centre. While positions are open to all areas of
mathematical medicine and biology, preference will be given to those
individuals whose research is concerned with the current principal areas
of CMM focus: mathematical oncology, computational neuroscience,
bioinformatics, or biomechanics of soft tissues. In particular, we are
looking for individuals interested in collaborative interaction with
clinicians and experimentalists.

The fellowships provide for a period of engagement in research and
participation in the Centre's activities. They award a stipend of $20,000
and are offered in conjunction with a Fields Affiliate or Principal
Sponsoring University. The partner institution matches Fields' support,
and fellows may also teach (at most) one university course per semester
for an additional stipend. On the cover sheet of your application, please
list any faculty members at these partner institutions who may be
appropriate supervisors. You are encouraged to apply directly to these
universities as well.

Applicants seeking postdoctoral fellowships funded by other agencies (such
as NSERC or international fellowships) are encouraged to request the
Fields Institute as their proposed location of tenure, and should apply to
the Institute for a letter of invitation.

Eligibility: Candidates who will have a recent PhD (awarded normally not
more than five years before tenure of the Fellowship) in any of the above
fields, or a related area of the mathematical sciences, are encouraged to
apply.

The Fields Institute is committed to diversity and welcomes applications
from women, members of First Nations or visible minorities, persons with
disabilities, members of sexual minority groups, and others who may
contribute to the diversity of ideas.

To guarantee consideration, applications should be received by April 1,
2011 (late applications will be accepted until the positions are filled).
Applicants must apply through https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/jobs/2677

Sincerely,
Alison Conway
