 As the ideal candidate, you are a recent PhD graduate (applicants who have completed all PhD requirements but who have not formally graduated are also invited to apply). You have strong mathematical skills and computational skills; a background in one or more of information theory, communications, biophysics, mathematical biology, or closely related fields; a track record of strong scientific publication and clear writing; and the ability to take initiative and learn new material quickly. The subject area of your PhD is less relevant than these skills, but PhDs in mathematics, physics, and electrical engineering are particularly encouraged to apply.
