</div>
<div>
<div>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</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Postdoc or Ph.D. student in Computational Systems Biology (Network analysis of diseases)</div>
<div>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Fixed-term contract 1 year, 40h/week, may be extended up to 5 years.</div>
<div>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Employee status (start date: as soon as possible)</div>
<div>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Research will be carried out in Luxembourg and Tokyo </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Area: Multidisciplinary project in systems biology approaches to model diseases.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Tasks/Mission:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>•<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>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. </div>
