BACKGROUND
The research will focus on computational systems biology, primarily through the modeling and analysis of biological networks, and is part of a newly founded interdisciplinary research initiative on top down systems biology, involving partners at 3 Flemish universities.
The Center of Excellence SymBioSys is an interdisciplinary research consortium that aims at developing computational methods for top down systems biology. It is located in the pleasant environment of the city of Leuven (located at 15 minutes from Brussels) at one of the most ancient universities of Europe.
The KULeuven partners involved in the research related to the job openings described above are:
- SymBioSys Bioinformatics subdivision: Prof. K. Marchal, Prof. B. De Moor
- SymBioSys Statistics subdivision: Prof. I. Van Mechelen, Prof. G. Verbeke
RESPONSIBILITIES
PhD or postdoc position, researchREQUIREMENTS
The ideal candidate will have a background in bioinformatics (with a preference for algorithmics and modeling), a background in mathematics, physics, engineering, computer science, or applied statistics, with a strong interest in biological applications or a background in biochemistry, biology, molecular biology with good mathematical skills. Further requirements include sufficient programming experience in Matlab, Java, C++, or similar languages, and excellent communication skills.
