*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.
