BACKGROUND

The Center for Systems Biology Dresden (CSBD) calls for applications for ELBE postdoctoral fellowships in the fields of

Bioinformatics and Computational Biology

The ELBE postdoctoral fellows program fosters cross-disciplinary projects and provides an ideal springboard to an independent research career.

REQUIREMENTS

What we seek:
We seek outstanding young researchers with a doctoral degree in computer science, (applied) mathematics, or bioinformatics and a strong commitment to work in a multi-disciplinary environment on Biological Sequence Analysis, Bioimage Informatics, Computer Simulation of biological systems, Comparative and Evolutionary Genomics, High-Performance Computing, or Network Biology. ELBE postdoctoral fellows have the possibility to collaborate with more than one research group to bridge between disciplines.

COMPENSATION

What we provide:
The CSBD provides 2-3 year fully funded positions in an international and cross-disciplinary research environment. ELBE postdoctoral fellows benefit from close collaborations with scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG), the Max Planck Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems (MPI-PKS), and the Technische Universität Dresden (TU Dresden), see http://www.csbdresden.de. They have full access to state-of-the-art research facilities and infrastructure on the campus.

HOW TO APPLY

For details about the application procedure, please visit our website http://www.csbdresden.de/join-us/as-a-postdoc/ Selection of ELBE Fellows is highly competitive with two application cycles per year. Short-listed candidates are invited to on-site interviews with travel costs covered by the CSBD.

DEADLINE

Deadline for applications is October 4, 2018.

POLICY

The Max Planck Society is an equal opportunity employer: handicapped individuals are strongly encouraged to apply. The Center for Systems Biology, the MPI-CBG and the MPI-PKS aim to increase the number of women in scientific positions. Female candidates are therefore particularly welcome.
