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

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US">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. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="" lang="EN-US"><span style=""> </span>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. <span style=""> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
