Full Description of Opportunity:
The Biological Physics program supports projects in which the analytical
and experimental tools of physics are applied to the study of problems
originating in the living world. Both experimental and theoretical
projects will be considered, although the main focus of the program is in
the experimental area. Of particular interest are projects in which new
experimental approaches are brought to bear on a well-identified problem.
These approaches should at the same time have the potential for broad
applicability to a set of similar problems, thereby adding to the set of
tools the scientist has for addressing biological problems in general.
While the problems under study must be important to advancing
understanding of the living world in a meaningful way, particular emphasis
will be placed on those projects in which the lessons learned from the
application serve to foster new concepts and ideas that expand the
intellectual basis of physics. The program fu
 nds individual investigators, although collaborative proposals between
physicists and biologists are welcome.
