Bauer Fellow

Title	Bauer Fellow
School	Faculty of Arts and Sciences
Department/Area	FAS Center for Systems Biology
Position Description	The FAS Center for Systems Biology at Harvard is interested in hosting Early Independence Awardees in the Bauer Fellows program (for Early Independence Award see http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-12-018.html). Bauer Fellows develop new experimental techniques, apply existing and novel techniques to interesting biological problems, and develop new analytical and theoretical tools for converting genome-wide data into knowledge about biology. They come from a variety of backgrounds, including biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, computer science, and engineering. Because we strongly believe that the search for broad biological principles requires a combination of experiment, theory, and computation, we are particularly interested in recruiting Fellows with broad scientific interests and a taste for collaboration. Like other Bauer Fellows, the successful Early Independence Awardee will be fully immersed in the scientific community of the fellows’ program, and will profit from its proven mentoring structure and the Center’s outstanding facilities and shared equipment. More information about the Bauer Fellows program can be found at http://sysbio.harvard.edu/csb/jobs/fellow.html
