subject: Post-doc: Stochastic Modelling of Intracellular…, U Edinburgh
Postdoctoral Research Associate in “Stochastic Modelling of
Intracellular Reaction Systems in Crowded Conditions” at the University
of Edinburgh, UK. An exciting interdisciplinary research opportunity has
arisen as a collaboration between the groups of Prof Guido Sanguinetti
(Informatics) and Dr Ramon Grima (Biological Sciences). Applications are
invited for a three-years postdoctoral research associate position on
the Leverhulme Trust funded project “Stochastic reactions in crowded
cells: theories, inference and applications”. The project aims at
producing novel breakthroughs in our understanding of biochemical
reactions within the crowded cellular environment; it will do so by
developing novel statistical and mathematical tools blending techniques
from machine learning and stochastic processes. For any enquiries please
email ramon.grima@ed.ac.uk or gsanguin@staffmail.ed.ac.uk. Apply via
www.vacancies.ed.ac.uk/pls/corehrrecruit/erq_search_version_4.search_form
The vacancy reference number is 046700 and the closing date is 26
February.

The Department of Mathematics and Mathematical Statistics, Umeå
University, Sweden, invites applications for a faculty position as
Senior Lecturer in Mathematics. Last application date is 2019/02/27.
The department conduct research in Computational Mathematics, Discrete
Mathematics, Mathematical Modelling and Analysis (including mathematical
ecology and evolution of cooperation), as well as Mathematical
Statistics. Our teaching activities encompass all levels and include
Mathematics, Mathematical Statistics and Computational Science. We are
responsible for a successful engineering program in Industrial Economics
that year after years attracts many students. We also run, in
collaboration with neighboring departments, two cross-disciplinary
research environments, Icelab (www.icelab.se) and UMIT.
