Opportunity: Postdoc position in BIOINFORMATICS--Sankt Augustin (Germany)
Submitted by Dr. Rudolf Marcel Fuechslin; posted on Thursday, April 28, 2005
DESCRIPTION
The research group 'Biomolecular Information Processing' (BioMIP) of the Ruhr University Bochum invites applications for scientists to participate in a project in the BMBF Systems Biology Program (project ends 31-12-2006):
Postdoc (BATIIa)
Bioinformatics
and
Doctoral Student (BATIIa/2)
Modelling
The project is entitled 'Systemology: A high throughput systems approach for imaging, quantitative analysis and modelling of hepatocyte endocytosis, receptor traffic and signal transduction'.
The integration of data from genomics, proteomics and metabolomics with the novel spatially resolved modelling platform and imaging databases being generated in the project offers postdocs the possibility to work conceptually and with close relation to experiments at the interface of two topical research areas, bioinformatics and 3D-modelling of dynamic cellular processes.
The doctoral position will be assigned to a student with specific interest in complex simulation tasks in an interdisciplinary context and includes collaboration in developing a 3D-modelling platform of cellular processes and reaction kinetics in soft matter systems.
The project offers the applicant the possibility to collaborate with leading groups in Germany and to interact directly with cutting edge experimental programs, creating the first high throughput imaging databases for the systems biology of the liver. The research will be carried out in connection with John McCaskill's group in Biomolecular Information Processing, which is currently located at Schloss Birlinghoven, Fraunhofer Campus in Sankt Augustin, near Bonn. This lab also has an experimental facility and is coordinating a European Project in Programmable Artificial Cell Evolution. It is affiliated with the Chair of Bioorganic Chemistry (G. von Kiedrowski) at the Ruhr University Bochum.
REQUIREMENTS
For the postdoc position, we expect a PhD in bioinformatics or systems biology with relevant experience in biomolecular datamining and modelling, or a computer scientist with equivalent work experience in these areas. The applicant should be able to work independently within a multi-disciplinary team.
The doctoral student will have completed a degree (B.A. or M.A.) in the natural sciences and have sufficient knowledge in informatics to acquaint himself efficiently with the simulation of complex soft matter systems.
The Ruhr University Bochum intends to increase the number of women in research and teaching; women are therefore explicitly invited to apply.
The Ruhr University Bochum is an equal opportunity employer and will give preference to disabled candidates provided they have the same qualifications as their competitors.
Salary will be paid according to the German BAT scale and includes additional benefits which are usually paid in the German public service (such as health insurance, superannuation).
