Subject: Post-doc: Computational Biology, ETH Zurich
We invite applications for a Post-Doc position within the Computational
Biology Group at the Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering of
ETH Zurich. The position is available immediately.
We are developing computational models for organogenesis. The models are
computationally demanding and further algorithmic developments are
required to solve models for biological signaling on realistic growing
and deforming 3D domains. Moreover, methods need to be developed to
enable the efficient comparison of model predictions and 3D experimental
imaging data and a more efficient search for appropriate parameter values.
We are therefore looking for a post-doc with experience in any of the
two fields:
-Numerical solution of PDE models (reaction-diffusion type and fluid
models) using either FEM or alternative methods
-Machine Learning
For more details on on-going projects in the group please visit our
webpage www.bsse.ethz.ch/cobi.
The Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich is an
integral part of SystemX.ch, the Swiss initiative in Systems Biology. It
is located in Basel, a European hotspot for biomedical research, in
close proximity of the Biozentrum of the University of Basel, the
Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, and the
pharmaceutical and biotech industry.
ETH Zurich is a major research university, offering an excellent
environment for innovative and collaborative research across
disciplines. The working language is English.
Please send the usual application material, including at least two
references, as a single PDF file to dagmar.iber@bsse.ethz.ch.

Subject: Post-doc: Mathematical Epidemiology, U Liverpool
Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded post-doctoral position in
\mathematical epidemiology at the University of Liverpool. Specifically,
the project will focus on the application of ideas from metabolic
control analysis to the control of network-based epidemic systems. This
provides an opportunity for you to broaden your experience at the
interface between these two areas. You should have (or be about to
obtain) a PhD in mathematics or a related area and have experience in
programming in a language such as MATLAB or R. Experience in modelling
infectious diseases and/or metabolic control analysis and/or control
theory would be advantageous. Good written and verbal communication
skills are essential.
For informal enquiries, please contact Kieran Sharkey
Tel. +44 (0) 151 794 4023, Email: kjs@liv.ac.uk. The post is available
for 14 months starting in the summer or autumn 2012. Please apply online
at: http://www.liv.ac.uk/working/job_vacancies/research/R-579577.htm
Closing date for applications: 8th June 2012.

Subject: Permanent Lectureship: Applied Mathematics, U Leeds
A permanent lectureship in Applied Mathematics has now been advertised
-- see http://jobs.leeds.ac.uk and use the reference MAPMA0030.
The closing date for external applications is 8 June. The interviews are
expected to be held on the 27th June.
In line with the University?s commitment to research-led teaching, you
will be expected to deliver high quality teaching in mathematics,
informed by your own research. It is anticipated that you will have the
potential to become a future leader of student education in mathematics
at the University of Leeds as this post has been created for the purpose
of improving the student experience. The teaching workload, and time
available for research will, however, be normal for this grade.
It is expected that you will join one of the research areas in Applied
Mathematics, which are Mathematical Biology and Medicine, Polymers and
Industrial Mathematics, Applied Nonlinear Dynamics, Astrophysical and
Geophysical Fluids, and Integrable Systems.
