* Biomathematics Postdoctoral Position * Georgia Institute of Technology *

A postdoctoral position in discrete mathematical biology is available  
under the direction of Prof. Christine Heitsch (Mathematics, Georgia Tech).
The biomath postdoc will work with an interdisciplinary RNA research group 
of faculty and graduate students from mathematics, biology, and computer 
science.  The postdoc will collaborate on research focusing on the 
combinatorics of RNA folding, and have the opportunity to develop new 
projects at the interface of discrete mathematics and molecular biology.

The position, starting in August 2009, is supported by an NIH R01 and 
Georgia Tech with a salary of $50,000 and standard benefits.  The postdoc 
will be based in the School of Mathematics and have limited teaching 
responsibilities of one course per semester.  The initial appointment 
will be for one year, with renewal up to three years subject to 
satisfactory progress and mutual agreement.

Requirements include: (1) PhD in mathematics, statistics, computer science, 
or other closely related field; (2) Demonstrated research excellence; 
(3) Strong oral and written communication skills.  Prior interdisciplinary 
experience is preferred, but outstanding applicants looking to broaden 
their field of interest will also be considered.

Applications should be emailed to <appRNApostdoc@math.gatech.edu> and 
consist of a cover letter describing your interest in the position, the 
names and contact information for at least three references, a curriculum 
vita, and a short research summary.  

Applications will be reviewed starting from March 15, 2009, and continue
until the position is filled.
