Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Interdisciplinary Informatics are sponsored jointly by the Directorates for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) and Biological Sciences (BIO) to encourage research and training that cross the traditional disciplinary boundaries between them. These fellowships provide opportunities for interdisciplinary research and educational activities in biology and informatics to a wide range of recent doctoral recipients (biologists, chemists, physicists, mathematicians, statisticians, computer scientists, and others). It is expected that the Fellows trained through these fellowships will play an important role in training the future workforce. Postdoctoral research and training in informatics will permit junior scientists trained in biology, mathematical, chemical, and physical sciences to play key roles in developing new quantitative tools and methods that will advance informatics in biology and other fields.The research and training plan is entitled "A population genomics approach to studying selection on regulatory sequences." Many computational, statistical, and theoretical tools necessary to investigate selection on whole genomes in a population genetic framework are not yet available. This study extends previous computational work on selection throughout unicellular genomes against spurious transcription factor binding sites by developing the informatic tools needed to study selection on eukaryotic genomes.

跨学科信息学的博士后研究奖学金由数学和物理科学局（MPS）和生物科学（BIO）共同赞助，以鼓励跨越传统学科界限的研究和培训。这些奖学金为生物学和信息学的跨学科研究和教育活动提供了机会，为近期最近的博士学位获得者（生物学家，化学家，物理学家，数学家，统计学家，计算机科学家等）提供了机会。 预计通过这些奖学金培训的研究员将在培训未来的劳动力中发挥重要作用。在信息学方面的博士后研究和培训将允许接受生物学，数学，化学和物理科学培训的初级科学家在开发新的定量工具和方法中发挥关键作用，这些工​​具和方法将推进生物学和其他领域的信息。 尚无许多计算，统计和理论工具来研究人群遗传框架中整个基因组选择的必要工具。 这项研究通过开发研究真核基因组选择所需的信息工具，扩展了针对虚假转录因子结合位点的整个单细胞基因组选择的计算工作。
