*Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Physics of Living Systems at Arizona State
University*



The Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science (http://beyond.asu.edu)
at Arizona State University invites applications for a postdoctoral
research position in the physics of living systems. The anticipated
research will combine network theory and experimental data to develop novel
computational models for understanding how information can be “written”
into networks via environmental imprinting.  The project combines aspects
of network and complex systems science, biophysics and information theory,
and will involve close collaboration with the laboratory of Michael Levin
at Tufts University  (http://ase.tufts.edu/biology/labs/levin/). Members of
the group at Arizona State University include Paul Davies and Sara Imari
Walker (www.emergence.asu.edu). The successful candidate will be expected
to spend some time at Tufts University, for which travel funds are
available, to facilitate the collaboration between theory and experiment in
this project.



The projected start date is early in 2016. Applicants must have a PhD in a
related field by the time of appointment. Ideal candidates will have a
background in computational modeling of complex systems, network theory,
information theory, and/or dynamical systems. Applicants should send a
cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of research interests, and
should arrange to have 3 letters of recommendation to be sent to Jeanette
Perez at perezjr at asu.edu.  The priority deadline for applications is
November 30, 2015, however we will continue reviewing applications until
the position is filled. Application materials should be sent in PDF format.
Further inquiries should be emailed directly to Sara Imari Walker (
sara.i.walker@*asu.edu <http://asu.edu>*) or Paul Davies (paul.davies@*asu.edu
<http://asu.edu>*).



A background check is required for employment. Arizona State University is
a VEVRAA Federal Contractor and an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action
Employer.  All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to
race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, protected veteran
status, or any other basis protected by law.
