Subject: Postdoctoral Position in Mathematical Biology at Duke University
Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in mathematical biology.
Candidates should have completed a doctorate before August 1, 2014 and
show definite promise in research and teaching. The teaching load will
be one course each semester, so that the appointee will have ample time
for research. The appointment is for two years, beginning on August 1,
2014. The appointment may be renewed for a third year. Duke University
seeks to build a diverse faculty: women and under-represented minorities
are encouraged to apply.
The position will be funded in part by NSF, and the successful candidate
will be expected to collaborate with Prof. Anita Layton on problems that
include: numerical methods for fluid structure interaction problems, fluid
motion driven by peristalsis, and mathematical models of water and solute
transport in the kidney.
Applicants are asked to submit (a) an AMS standard coversheet; (b) a vita;
(c) a description of current and past research (1-3 pages); (d) a research
statement, and have at least four letters of recommendation, including
one that evaluates teaching. Applicants are encouraged to submit materials
electronically at
www.mathjobs.org/jobs/duke/. Alternatively, application
materials may be mailed to Prof. Anita Layton, Department of Mathematics,
Duke University Box 90320, Durham, NC 27708-0320, USA.
