Subject: Postdoc position at UNSW Medicine
Post-doc position on immunogenomics
and single cell analyses
external-careers.jobs.unsw.edu.au/cw/en/job/497438/postdoctoral-fellow
UNSW Medicine is a national leader in learning,
teaching and research, with close affiliations to a
number of Australia’s finest hospitals, research
institutes and health care organisations. The UNSW
Future Institute on Cellular Genomics has been
established to represent a leading institute in single
cell genomics in Australia and internationally. The institute
is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow who will be responsible
for Analysis and modelling of single cell multi-omics in
immunology related to the research in autoimmune disease
and CAR T cells. The successful candidate will operate
within the UNSW Future Cellular Genomics, and specifically
at the Kirby Institute and the School of Medical Science,
with active collaborations with close collaborators at the
Garvan Institute.
The role involves both experimental and computational
research activities, identifying opportunities for collaboration
and funding and assisting the broader team with other
research related duties. This position will focus on the
development and application of single cell technologies
including machine learning approaches) for analysing and
interpreting multi-omics data of immune cells.

Subject: Postdoc at the University of Birmingham
We are looking for outstanding postdoctoral researchers
with backgrounds in mathematics, physics or data science
to join the newly established Centre for Systems Modelling and
Quantitative Biomedicine as Centre Fellows.
These unique roles offer the opportunity to develop
your own research interests, as well as to co-develop exciting
new projects at the interface with biomedical and clinical
research. Successful applicants will receive strong support
for developing their own independent programme of research,
ultimately leading to personal fellowship funding and so an
established career at the University of Birmingham.
At present we are seeking candidates with a background
in one of more of dynamical systems, complex networks,
continuum mechanics, machine learning and artificial intelligence,
data analytics and visualisation, advanced imaging, diagnostics
and decision support.

Dear Colleagues,
We hope you will take the opportunity to
announce the NSF Graduate Research
Fellowship Program (GRFP). Interested students
should begin at the applicant information page
www.nsfgrfp.org . The GRFP supports
outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics
disciplines who are pursuing research-based
master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited
United States institutions. The program provides
up to three years of graduate education support,
including an annual $34,000 stipend. Applications
for Mathematical Sciences topics are due
October 25, 2019.
US citizens and permanent residents who
are planning to enter graduate school in fall
2020 are eligible (as are those in the first two
years of such a graduate program, or who are
returning to graduate school after being out for
two or more years). The program solicitation
(www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=6201 )

combinations are possible: France-Germany-US,
France-Germany-Israel-US, France-Israel-US,
France-Israel-Japan-US, France-Japan-US, Germany-Israel-US,
Israel-Japan-US. Multilateral projects may also involve
unfunded collaborators from additional countries. For more
nformation about topical appropriateness, project scope,
or budget needs, proposers are encouraged to contact the
CRCNS Program Coordinator – NSF. You can find further
program details and updated contact information at
www.nsf.gov/crcns. For recent changes
in NSF and CRCNS proposal requirements, please see
Significant Changes and Clarifications to the PAPPG and
the Important Information and Revision Notes for the CRCNS
solicitation. Both the project summary and the project description
must address the NSF Broader Impacts review criterion, in
separately labeled sections for each. Results from prior support
