Postdoctoral Fellow in Applied Mathematics

Harvard University Cambridge, MA, USA

Title Postdoctoral Fellow in Applied Mathematics School Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Department/Area Applied Mathematics Position Description We currently (as of February 2023) have two openings for post-doctoral fellows to work on specific projects: Quantify resource consumption and waste production in the collective dynamics of a ~450 person residential community. The project will involve the design and deployment of sensors (using tinyML, with embedded approaches to ensure differential privacy), statistical analysis of physical, chemical and biological data, mathematical modeling of processes that span prediction and optimal control, and communication of results with the community, with the aim of guiding policy for climate change adaptation. The ideal candidate should have experience with sensor design and deployment, data analysis, mathematical modeling and strong...

Professor in Terrestrial Ecology

Harvard University Cambridge, MA, USA

Position Description The Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology (OEB) seeks to appoint a tenured professor in terrestrial ecology to serve as the next director of Harvard Forest. Terrestrial ecology is defined broadly, including studies at the physiological, population, community, or ecosystem level, and encompasses both above- and below-ground terrestrial ecosystems, and all biological kingdoms. We are especially interested in individuals who conduct rigorous observational and/or experimental work on how the structure, composition and functioning of eastern temperate forests are changing as a result of human activities. In addition, we are also interested in individuals who are advancing our understanding of how to conserve biodiversity in natural and human-dominated landscapes, the role of biodiversity in the maintenance of ecosystem services, and the dynamics of coupled human-natural systems. Both OEB and Harvard Forest value diversity and...

Research Associate Mazur Group

Harvard University Cambridge, MA, USA

Position Description The Mazur Lab in the Applied Physics Department of the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (mazur.harvard.edu) has an opening for a Research Associate in the area of nanophotonics and biophotonics. As pioneers in these areas, we develop and use cutting-edge theoretical and experimental techniques to design, fabricate, and study nanophotonic metamaterials and develop novel biophotonic platforms and techniques. Our nanophotonics projects involve metamaterials and moiré metamaterials that have extreme optical properties, such as near-zero index, zero group velocity, ultra-low loss, or ultra-flat bands. The goal of our biophotonics work is to develop tools for biologists and biophysicists to be able to deliver large cargo molecules in a spatially-selective way to cells, past the cell membrane phospholipid bilayer barrier. We have active collaborations in these two areas with other photonics groups at Harvard, and...
