Eligibility: To be an Investigator in MMLS, a scientist must be engaged in research related to the program, must have a primary appointment as a faculty member at a United States or Canadian educational institution with a Ph.D. program and not previously have been a Simons Investigator. At the time of appointment, an Investigator should be in the early stages of an academic career (within five years of the start of his/her first faculty position) and, typically, be holding an assistant professorship or equivalent position.
The foundation reserves the right to determine eligibility, but, generally, a ‘primary appointment’ is defined as one where an Investigator is a full-time employee of an academic institution and with a teaching load that is comparable to that of other faculty members in the same department.

Title
Simons Investigators in the Mathematical Modeling of Living Systems
Agencies
Simons Foundation (Simons)
Description
The Simons Foundation invites nominations for Simons Investigators in the Mathematical Modeling of Living Systems (MMLS). These Investigators are outstanding scientists, often with mathematics or theoretical physics backgrounds, who are now engaged in mathematical-model-based research in the life sciences and to whom the Simons Foundation is dedicated to providing long-term support for their work.
Rationale and scope: Mathematical-model-based approaches are making increasingly important contributions to the life sciences. The MMLS program aims to support such approaches and to foster a scientific culture of theory-experiment collaboration similar to that prevailing in the physical sciences. To encourage young researchers to pursue this endeavor, the MMLS program will provide a long-term, stable base of support, enabling a focus on model-based approaches to important issues in the life sciences.
A broad spectrum of research areas within the life sciences will be considered, ranging from cellular-level issues of organization, regulation, signaling and dynamics through morphogenesis to the properties of large organisms, as well as neuroscience and evolution; however, preference will be given to areas in which modeling approaches are less established, and for this reason bioinformatics and genomics will fall outside the scope of the program. In all cases, preference will be given to work that relates closely to experiment, developing models that can explain data, suggest new classes of experiments and introduce important new concepts.
