[BBC] Postdoc Position Computational Systems Biology

[Hans van Beek]

*Postdoc Position Computational Systems Biology*

*'Systems Bioinformatics: Computational Modelling Methods'*

* *

*Position: * Postdoc at the Centre for Integrative Bioinformatics 
(IBIVU; http://www.ibivu.nl), VU University Amsterdam (Vrije 
Universiteit). The term of the position is about 45 months.

 


    The IBIVU is a recently founded broad-based Research and Education
    Centre that is carried by the Faculty of Sciences (FEW) and the
    Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences (FALW) with strong endorsement
    from the University Board. The IBIVU is going through a phase of
    expansion both in staffing and research projects as a result of
    university and grant-based funding. More information is available at
    the website (http://www.ibivu.nl).

*Title:*

Systems Bioinformatics: Computational Modelling Methods**

 

*Goal:*

To develop and implement computer methods for computational modelling of 
biological systems. This encompasses methods for computational model 
assembly, maintenance, modification, execution and analysis.

 **

*Outline of Project:*

The project focusses on developing and implementing computational 
methods generically useful for computational modelling of biological 
systems. This encompasses workflows for computational model assembly, 
modification, maintenance, execution, simulation, optimisation, etc. 
Multiscale modelling methods, parameter sensitivity spectrum analysis, 
ensemble simulation, model-based data analysis techniques, visualisation 
of results, data assimilation methods etc. may be part of the project.

   This project is funded by The Netherlands Consortium for Systems 
Biology (NCSB). In the NCSB five bioinformatics centres collaborate in 
the Systems Bioinformatics project. This bioinformatics project in turn 
entails collaboration with several experimental projects in the 
consortium. In addition the Systems Bioinformatics group is part of the 
BioAssist programme of the Netherlands BioInformatics Centre. The VU 
group coordinates the Systems Bioinformatics group. The postdoc shall 
play an active role in coordination of the Systems Bioinformatics 
project with the partners.  

 **

*Requirements:*

The candidate for the postdoc position is expected to have a PhD degree 
or equivalent in bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, 
or a related field, with a strong background in software development and 
biological systems modelling and in addition should possess good 
communication skills.
