Job # 075418 Job Title Postdoctoral Researcher - Physics Location Syracuse, NY Pay Range Commensurate with experience FLSA Status Exempt Hours
As determined by supervisor
Job Type Full-time Rank Post Doc Campus Syracuse, NY Unionized Position Code Not Applicable Job Description
The Physics department at Syracuse University is soliciting applications for a post-doctoral researcher that will conduct work in physics of cancer research in the groups of Jen Schwarz (Syracuse University), Lisa Manning (Syracuse University), and Mingming Wu (Cornell University). Desirable experience should be in at least one of the following areas: quantitative biology, soft matter.
The initial appointment is for one year with the possibility for renewal.
The selected candidate will use modeling and experimental approaches that will be conducted at Syracuse University in the groups of Jen Schwarz and Lisa Manning to be followed by experimental tests of the modeling predictions in the group of Mingming Wu at Cornell University. The candidate’s background should be a recent Ph.D. in quantitative biology (theory and/or experiments) or in soft matter (theory and/or experiments).
Qualified candidates should submit a cover letter, their curriculum vitae that includes a list of publications, a brief description of their research interests, and the e-mail addresses/phone numbers of at least three references to the online position posting. Questions and inquiries can be directed to Jen Schwarz (mailto:jmschw02@syr.edu).
Further information about the research pursued by Jen Schwarz, Lisa Manning, and Mingming Wu can be found here at:

http://biofluidics.bee.cornell.edu/
The appointment will begin in late Fall 2020.
Qualifications
Ph.D. in quantitative biology (theory and/or experiments) or in soft matter (theory and/or experiments).
Job Specific Qualifications
Desirable experience should be in at least one of the following areas: quantitative biology, soft matter.
Responsibilities
Modeling and experimental approaches to answer the question of how does the interplay between the mechanics of the extracellular matrix ( ECM ) and the rigidity/fluidity of an embedded tumor spheroid potentially prime the spheroid for invasion?
The modeling will be conducted at Syracuse University in the groups of Jen Schwarz and Lisa Manning to be followed by experimental tests of the modeling predictions in the group of Mingming Wu at Cornell University. The successful candidate will be uniquely poised to tackle additional problems in living matter where close feedback between modeling and experiments is needed to help constrain the modeling.
Physical Requirements Tools/Equipment Application Instructions
In addition to completing an online application, please attach a cover letter, curriculum vitae that includes a list of publications, a brief description of research interests (submit to ‘Other Document’), and the e-mail addresses/phone numbers of at least three references (submit to ‘Reference List’) to the online position posting.
About Syracuse University
Syracuse University is a private, international university with distinctive academics, diversely unique offerings and an undeniable spirit. Founded in 1870, we are excited to celebrate nearly 150 years of history. Located in the geographic heart of New York State, Syracuse University offers a quintessential college experience and innovative online learning environments.
The scope of Syracuse University is a testament to its strengths. At Syracuse University, we offer a choice of more than 200 majors and 100 minors offered through 13 schools and colleges and 18 online degree programs. We have more than 15,000 undergraduates and 5,000 graduate students, more than a quarter of a million alumni in 160 countries, and a student population from all 50 U.S. states and 123 countries. In addition, Syracuse University students are proud to participate in a premier NCAA Division 1 athletic program as part of the Athletic Coast Conference.
In December 2018, Syracuse University once again earned a position in the top tier for research activity among all doctoral universities in the nation by The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education. Included among 120 R1 doctoral universities, Syracuse University continues to demonstrate a commitment to internationally recognized research and achievement of the goals set out in its academic strategic plan.
About the Syracuse area
Syracuse is a medium-sized city situated in the geographic center of New York State approximately 250 miles northwest of New York City. The metro-area population totals approximately 500,000. The area offers a low cost of living and provides many social, cultural, and recreational options, including parks, museums, festivals, professional regional theater, and premier shopping venues. Syracuse and Central New York present a wide range of seasonal recreation and attractions ranging from water skiing and snow skiing, hiking in the Adirondacks, touring the historic sites, visiting wineries along the Finger Lakes, and biking on trails along the Erie Canal.
EEOC
Syracuse University is an equal-opportunity, affirmative-action institution. The University prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, national origin, citizenship, ethnicity, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law to the extent prohibited by law. This nondiscrimination policy covers admissions, employment, and access to and treatment in University programs, services, and activities.
Commitment to Supporting and Hiring Veterans
Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.
Commitment to a Diverse and Inclusive Campus Community
Syracuse University maintains an inclusive learning environment in which students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all other aspects of campus life reflect a diverse, multi-cultural, and international worldview. The University community recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in an inherently diverse country and world made up of people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, cultural traditions, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
