Our research ranges from fundamental issues in molecular biophysics, cell and multicellular biology, and genetic networks to pressing biomedical questions raised by the study of diseases such as cancer. We are actively recruiting recent quantitative science (physics, mathematics, chemistry, etc.) Ph.D. graduates for postdoctoral positions beginning in 2012. We are looking to fill several positions with postdoctoral candidates that are well-versed in quantitative science, but who are very interested in learning and tackling research problems in the realm of biology and biomedicine. Previous experience in working on living systems may be beneficial, but is not necessary. CTBP postdoctoral scholars will participate in leading-edge research with world-renowned faculty and at the same time will be provided opportunities to expand career-enhancing skill sets (grant writing, teaching, mentoring undergraduate research students/projects, etc.). CTBP postdoctoral scholars will also share in unique opportunities to gain hands-on experience in biological techniques while working closely with experimental scientists. An initial review of applications will begin in early February 2012. Applicants are asked to visit http://ctbp.rice.edu for additional information on CTBP Postdoctoral opportunities, or they may contact Christopher M.
