Emory University seeks outstanding recent PhD graduates across the broad areas of Computational and Life Sciences for appointment as CLS Fellows. The Computational and Life Sciences Strategic Initiative (CLS) at Emory explores new scientific frontiers at the interface of computation, synthetic sciences and systems biology. CLS covers three broad focus areas: Computational Science and Informatics (modeling, numerical methods, simulation, and information-based knowledge discovery), Synthetic Sciences (synthetic biology, chemical biology, biomaterials science, and bio-nanoscience), and Systems Biology (exploration of living systems across multiple scales via high-throughput quantitative methods).

Emory CLS Fellowships are prestigious 3-year research appointments with unparalleled independence and generous resources. Salary is highly competitive and supplementary research funds will be provided. Candidates should have (or soon receive) a PhD in a CLS-related area, and demonstrate exceptional research accomplishments (or promise). Strong preference will be given to applicants who propose research projects that span multiple facets of CLS. 

Applications consisting of a CV, unofficial transcripts, a statement of proposed research, and three letters of recommendation directly from recommenders should be sent via email to cls-fellow-apply@emory.edu. Applicants are encouraged to contact one or more Emory researchers who may be potential collaborators and/or mentors (for a list of CLS affiliated faculty, and more details on CLS, please see http://www.cls.emory.edu/). Informal inquiries are also invited by email. Screening starts December 1, 2008; appointments will be made on an ongoing basis.
