[BBC] Postdoc positions in Computational Biophysics, CWI, Netherlands

[Roeland Merks]

Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI; www.cwi.nl) in Amsterdam, The  
Netherlands, has two full time vacancies for a Postdoc position:

- One position for a two year period on Computational Biology of  
Tumour Development. See: http://www.cwi.nl/jobs/postdoc-0

- A three year position on Computational biomechanics of extracellular  
matrix materials and cell-matrix interactions during blood vessel  
growth. See: http://www.cwi.nl/jobs/postdoc

The openings are research positions within the field of computational  
biology.

The work will be embedded in the Biomodeling and Biosystems Analysis  
group of the Netherlands Consortium for Systems Biology (www.ncsb.nl)  
at the CWI in Amsterdam. As the “core modeling group” of the NCSB, the  
group carries out biomodeling research in collaboration with systems  
biology groups in partner institutes.

Requirements:
- The post-doc on Tumour Development modeling is required to have a  
completed PhD in computational biology or a related discipline. This  
is not a vacancy in bioinformatics: a background in modeling and  
simulation is required. The candidate is expected to have affinity  
with interdisciplinary applications, able to communicate with  
scientists in biology and bioinformatics, and have excellent  
programming skills.

- The postdoc on extracellular matrix materials modeling is required  
to have a completed PhD in computational science, numerical  
mathematics, or a related discipline. The candidate is expected to  
have affinity with interdisciplinary applications, able to communicate  
with scientists in (theoretical) biology and mathematics, have  
excellent programming skills and a background in computational (fluid)  
mechanics.

Both candidates are expected to have a demonstrated record of  
excellent research, have strong organizational and guidance skills, be  
able to carry out his/her own research agenda, and to be able to  
collaborate with colleagues at CWI and other institutions. Candidates  
are required to have an excellent spoken and written command of English.
