    BACKGROUND

    Graduate and Post-doc positions are available in the BIMIB laboratory of DISCo Università Milano Bicocca, Italy, in the field of Systems Biology (http://bimib.disco.unimib.it). The project will be carried out in collaboration with the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research of the University of Toronto, Canada.

    We have two major research areas of interest:

    1. Modeling the development of colon-rectal cancer (CRC) by simulating molecular and cellular processes of intestinal crypts. The research will explore the possibility of running several control-theoretic schemes in order to form hypotheses about the role of different regulatory and metabolic actors.

    2. Development of tools and methods for the integrative analysis of genomics data, such as gene expression and mutation profiles, utilizing functional annotations, protein interactions and pathway scoring models such as enrichment analysis. These will be interfaced to the network visualization environment Cytoscape and the BioPAX interaction exchange format.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • The applicant will either have a computational biology background, a biology/biomedical background with interests in computer science and mathematical modeling and optimization, or a mathematical modeling, optimization, and heuristics, and computer science background with interests in biology and medicine.
    • Knowledge of mathematical and statistical software such as Matlab™, Mathematica™ and R (research area #1), or Java (research area #2) is expected.
    • Knowledge of parallel and distributed computing systems, data-base and programming language development systems is a plus. Previous knowledge of Cytoscape plugin development will also be considered very positively.

    TERMS

    The positions are for 18 months and come with a net salary of about 1450 EUR per month. The starting date will be November 1st 2010. The positions are funded by the Lombardy Region (Regione Lombardia) grant ASTIL (regional decree 1669 of June 18th 2010) and by the Università degli Studi di Milano-Bicocca.

    HOW TO APPLY

    Please send the following to retronet-jobs [atsign-here] disco.unimib.it:

    1. Curriculum vitae (including a list of publications)
    2. Statement of research
    3. List of two or more references

    DEADLINE

    The deadline for application submissions is September 30, 2010 at 23:59 GMT+1.
