Eligibility: Candidates must have an advanced degree in a quantitative area of science or engineering (M.S.E.E., Ph.D., D.Sc., etc.) and have demonstrated research interests in their primary quantitative discipline. The candidate should have demonstrated professional accomplishments consonant with his or her career status, and should have demonstrated experience or interest in pursuing research (including research outside of biomedicine, behavior, bioimaging, or bioengineering).
