COMPLEXITY IN BIOPHYSICS
Required Qualifications
We seek applications from scientists bringing cutting-edge theoretical, mathematical, computational and/or experimental concepts or techniques from the physical sciences to study complex emergent behavior of biological systems at all levels of organization. We are considering applications in all areas of biophysics. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, protein interaction and genetic networks, self-assembly and self-organization in cell or developmental biology, and the collective behavior of populations of cells from microorganisms to neurons. This faculty position will be a joint appointment between CSCS and the Biophysics Program at the University of Michigan.
