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.
