Dear all, The Computational Biology Research Unit of the Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine in collaboration with the Systems Biology Institute (Tokyo, Japan) has the following vacancy Postdoc or Ph.D. student in Computational Systems Biology (Network analysis of diseases) • Fixed-term contract 1 year, 40h/week, may be extended up to 5 years. • Employee status (start date: as soon as possible) • Research will be carried out in Luxembourg and Tokyo Area: Multidisciplinary project in systems biology approaches to model diseases. Tasks/Mission: • Modeling and analysis of biological networks (e.g. gene regulatory networks, metabolic networks, protein-protein interaction networks) will be used to elucidate disease mechanism and development. The goal of this project is the study of different aspects of these networks, including topology, dynamics, and perturbations by combining concepts from different areas of mathematics, such as graph, information and game theories, which then allows a better prediction of how some of major diseases (in particular neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases) can be prevented or treated. Collaboration with different medical and clinical research groups will be essential. Profile: • A Ph.D. or Master in Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Biology or a related discipline • Strong computational skills • High interest in researchers with prior experience in mathematical modelling of biological systems especially in network construction and statistical analysis • Excellent working knowledge in English. . Offer: • Opportunity to participate in the development of a newly created LCSB in collaboration with SBI Japan • An exciting international environment • A competitive salary For further information, please contact: Prof. Dr. Antonio del Sol E-mail: antonio.delsol@uni.lu Prof. Dr. Hiroaki Kitano E-mail: kitano@sbi.jp Applications should contain the following documents: • A detailed curriculum vitae • cover letter mentioning the reference number • list of publications • description of past research experience and future interests • name and addresses of three referees All applications should be sent preferably in electronic version until August 1st , 2011 to the following address: Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine Universite' du Luxembourg Campus Limpertsberg 162a Rue de la Faiencerie L-1511 Luxembourg Tel: +352-466644-6982 Email: antonio.delsol@uni.lu Best regards, Antony Le Béchec -- Dr. Antony Le Béchec University of Luxembourg FSTC - Faculty of Sciences, Technology and communication Campus Limpertsberg 162a, avenue de la Faïencerie L-1511 Luxembourg Tel: (+352) 46 66 44 6581 Email: antony.lebechec@uni.lu<mailto:antony.lebechec@uni.lu> www.uni.lu
