Positions in biological modeling and simulation in Amsterdam, The Netherlands Within the Netherlands Consortium for Systems Biology (NCSB), biologists, computer scientists, physicists and mathematicians of Dutch universities and research institutes have joint forces to develop innovative systems biology approaches for tackling challenging, multi-factorial biological problems related to human health, plant sciences, and white biotechnology. Computer modeling and simulation are central to this highly multidisciplinary effort. NCSB’s core modeling group Biomodeling and Biosystems Analysis at CWI, the Dutch national research institute for mathematics and computer science, develops innovative simulation approaches and coordinates modeling projects at the participating institutes. The Biomodeling and Biosystems Analysis group invites applications for the following positions: Postdoctoral researcher Modeling dynamics and evolution of hierarchically regulated, eukaryotic gene networks See: http://www.cwi.nl/en/node/1044 PhD student Cell-based modeling of blood vessel formation See http://www.cwi.nl/en/node/1045 Scientific programmer / PhD student Bringing modeling and simulation to the biologist’s lab bench See http://www.cwi.nl/en/node/1043 Requirements for all positions: - A scientific background in simulation and modeling: a degree in theoretical biology or computational physics, computational science, or equivalent experience - Able to communicate with scientists in biology and mathematics - Good programming skills in C++ or equivalent - Minimum academic degree: for postdoc, PhD; for PhD, M.Sc.; for programmer, B.Sc.
