Website(s) Listing Postdoc Position for Biophysics?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on finding specialized websites for postdoctoral positions in biophysics and computational/mathematical biology. Participants emphasize the importance of consulting with instructors and advisors for guidance on job resources. They recommend joining relevant professional organizations, such as the American Institute of Biological Sciences, which may provide job listings not found on platforms like HigherEdJobs and APS. The conversation also highlights the transition from experimental physics to computational fields and the need for targeted job search strategies.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of postdoctoral career paths in biophysics and computational biology
  • Familiarity with professional organizations in biological sciences
  • Knowledge of job search platforms like HigherEdJobs and APS
  • Basic awareness of the transition from experimental physics to computational fields
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the American Institute of Biological Sciences for job listings and resources
  • Explore additional job boards specific to biophysics and computational biology
  • Join relevant professional organizations to access job search services
  • Investigate career prospects in mathematical/computational biology
USEFUL FOR

Graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and professionals transitioning from experimental physics to computational biology seeking targeted job search strategies and resources.

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.
