Independent Fellow – National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology

The NSF-Simons National Institute for Theory and Mathematics in Biology (NITMB) seeks applications from early-career researchers who will have completed a doctoral degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or related fields by December 2025 for the NITMB Postdoctoral Fellows program!  NITMB Fellows conduct independent research focused on developing new mathematics and statistics relevant to challenges in biology, and are part of a lively, multidisciplinary environment of scientists with diverse backgrounds. This call is aimed at young scientists trained in mathematics (pure and applied, including statistics) with exceptional research promise and interested in exploring new mathematical challenges emerging from biological phenomena. Prior experience with biology is not required. This three-year postdoctoral fellowship offers a competitive salary and a generous research budget.  The NITMB is a joint effort of Northwestern University and the University of Chicago, and is located in the Hancock Center in downtown Chicago.
