interdisciplinary research effort and graduate training program in
the area of Quantitative Biosciences, emphasizing experimentation,
computational and theoretical approaches to the study of living
systems, on scales from molecules to entire organisms. Subjects of
interest include, but are not limited to:
- biophysical mechanisms underlying emerging properties in living
matter;
- chemical approaches (e.g., proteomic, spectroscopy, ---) to
elucidating biological phenomena;
- organizational principles of subcellular and subnuclear
dynamics;
- quantitative studies of development and tissue mechanics;
- metabolism and energetics of biological processes;
- neural computation for sensation and behavioral control.We are
especially interested in experimental scientists who combine modern
tools from multiple disciplines to understand biological
organization and function on multiple scales. Candidates who focus
on theoretical aspects may be considered, but a demonstrated record
of effective interactions and collaborations with experimentalists
is expected.The successful candidate's faculty appointment will be
split between the Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in
Biomolecular Science and Engineering and the academic department(s)
