Website(s) Listing Postdoc Position for Biophysics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding specialized websites for postdoc positions in biophysics and computational/mathematical biology. Initial suggestions emphasize the importance of consulting with instructors or advisors who can provide valuable resources and insights. It is also recommended to join relevant professional organizations, such as the American Institute of Biological Sciences, which may offer job listings and support for job searches in biological sciences. The individual seeking advice has recently transitioned from experimental physics to an applied math program, expressing interest in pursuing a career in mathematical/computational biology and inquiring about postdoc opportunities and career prospects in this field.

Are there websites that specialize in listing postdoc position for biophysics, computational/mathematical biology? I looked through higheredjobs and aps but found very few positions. Are the available positions this few?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The very first thing that you should have done is to inquire with your instructor/advisors, etc. These people have gone through all this and should know the resources that you need.

Secondly, by this time, shouldn't you already belong to some organization related to your area of study? The APS may not have the complete listing of jobs for biological sciences. Shouldn't you already be a member of such organization similar to the APS but for biological sciences, something like the American Institute of Biological Sciences. Don't these organizations offers job search services?

Thanks for your suggestions.

However, I finished my PhD in experimental physics a few years ago and I moved away from research for a while. I just got accepted to an applied math program for a master's which will allow me to make a switch to a computational field. I am leaning toward mathematical/computational biology and so I want to know what the postdoc and future career prospects look like.
 
I don't know if anyone on here works for any of the well known defense companies of your country, whichever country you are from?? Also, if you choose to work in one, do you think the engineering education provide from your school would adequately prepare you for the job. What do I mean by that? Well if you work at say Lockheed Martin and you work in the latest iteration of a missile or if you work at Pratt & Whitney, they assign you to work in the team helping out with building the jet...
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
So lately, my interest in the realm of optics/optoelectronics/photonics engineering has grown and I have started to seriously consider pursuing a career in the field. I have done a bit of career research and also have done some learning on the side to gather more knowledge on these topics. However, I have some questions on what a career in these fields would look like, and I wanted to find out more about this area to know what I would be getting myself into if I did make the choice to pursue...
