ASU’s Beyond Center and the University of Glasgow seek 1–2 full-time researchers to advance Assembly Theory methods, build cheminformatics databases, and establish protocols/standards for origins-of-life research. Work jointly with Profs. Sara Walker (ASU) and Leroy Cronin (Glasgow), primarily in Tempe with periodic time in Glasgow. Responsibilities include software/pipeline development, data standards, theory for life detection, publications, and cross-lab coordination. Required: PhD in Chemistry/Physics/Computer Science (or related), strong programming, and research record.

We are pleased to announce that the 33rd Texas Symposium on Relativistic Astrophysics will take place from December 8–12, 2025, at Arizona State University (ASU), Tempe, USA.
The new book "Physician Wellness and Resilience: Narrative Prompts to Address Burnout", edited by Pauline Davies, Beyond Center affiliate faculty, from Arizona State University's Hugh Downs School of Human Communication and Dr. Cynthia M. Stonnington of the Mayo Clinic, explores the pressing issue of physician burnout and provides strategies to enhance mental well-being and resilience.
In a new book, physicist Sara Walker argues that assembly theory can explain what life is, and even help scientists create new forms of it.
What is life and how does one recognize it? asks Walker, an astrobiology professor at Arizona State University, in her bold debut. Defining life is a deceptively tricky endeavor, she argues, noting that the claim popular in scientific circles that “life is a self-sustaining chemical system capable of Darwinian evolution” would mean that worker bees aren’t alive because they can’t reproduce.
Sara Walker is an astrobiologist and theoretical physicist. She is the author of a new book titled "Life as No One Knows It: The Physics of Life's Emergence"
