Application deadline this Sunday
OKINAWA COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE COURSE 2013
Methods, Neurons, Networks and Behaviors
June 17 - July 4, 2013. OIST, Okinawa, Japan
new website: https://groups.oist.jp/ocnc
The aim of the Okinawa Computational Neuroscience Course is to
provide opportunities for young researchers with theoretical backgrounds
to learn the latest advances in neuroscience, and for those with experimental
backgrounds to have hands-on experience in computational modeling.
We invite graduate students and postgraduate researchers to participate
in the course, held from June 17th through July 4th, 2013 at an oceanfront
seminar house of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate
University. Applications are through the course web page only; they close
Sunday February 10th, 2013. Applicants are required to propose a project at
the time of application. Applicants will receive confirmation of acceptance in
March.
Like in preceding years, OCNC will be a comprehensive three-week course
covering single neurons, networks, and behaviors with ample time for
student projects. The first week will focus exclusively on methods with
hands-on tutorials during the afternoons, while the second and third weeks
will have lectures by international experts. We invite those who are interested
in integrating experimental and computational approaches at each level, as
well as in bridging different levels of complexity.
There is no tuition fee. The sponsor will provide lodging and meals during
the course and may support travel for those without funding. We hope that
this course will be a good opportunity for theoretical and experimental
neuroscientists to meet each other and to explore the attractive nature and
culture of Okinawa, the southernmost island prefecture of Japan.

on the Genopole campus a Master in Systems and Synthetic Biology,
mSSB. Online applications are now open. To find out more about mSSB,
please visit our website: http://www.mssb.fr
Applicants may come from Universities or from Engineering schools
after a first year of master (M1), or an equivalent qualification, in
Life Sciences, Computer Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering, Chemistry
and Physical Sciences. Bi-disciplinary courses including Biology is
favoured, but highly-achieving and motivated students in any of the
cited disciplines can apply. Following this M2 Master, several PhD
programs are possible on site. Research trainings are also proposed in
Europe (England, Germany, Switzerland, Spain) and in the US.
Several Master scholarships are proposed by French Institutions, to
foreign students who want to study in France. So we would appreciate
your help in transmitting these informations to potentially interested
students, and putting them in contact with us when you judge that they
have sufficient merit to follow this Master degree. Interested
students must contact Cécile Gasse (cecile.gasse@issb.genopole.fr).

Subject: PhD Fellowship: Computational Cell Physiology, Nottingham, UK
PhD position: Analysis of cell signalling networks using dynamic inputs
Applications are invited for the above post to work with Drs Rüdiger
Thul, Tom Bellamy and Noah Russell on a Leverhulme Trust funded
project at the University of Nottingham. The successful candidate will
register for a 3 year PhD in the School of Mathematical Sciences and
the School of Biomedical Sciences.
A major challenge in physiology is to understand the rules governing
cell signalling pathways that control cellular behaviour. This project
aims to provide quantitative insights into cellular decision making by
combining novel experimental approaches with cutting-edge mathematical
modelling. The successful candidate will use techniques from
computational cell biology and mathematical cell physiology as well as
ideas and concepts from dynamical systems theory, random processes and
information processing. The project is interdisciplinary in nature,
and so the candidate should be enthusiastic about collaborating
closely with colleagues in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering.
We require an enthusiastic graduate with a 1st class degree in
Mathematics (in exceptional circumstances a 2(i) class degree can be
considered), preferably of the MMath/MSc level. Candidates would need
to be interested in learning about cell physiology; any experience in
this field, or in mathematical biology more generally, would be a
distinct advantage.
The studentship is available from September/October 2013 and provides
an annual stipend at the standard rate (currently £13,590 per annum)
and full payment of Home/EU Tuition Fees for a period of 36 months.
Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr R Thul email:
ruediger.thul@nottingham.ac.uk. Please note that applications sent
directly to this email address will not be accepted. For information
about the School of Mathematical Sciences, one of the most active in
the UK, see: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/mathematics/index.aspx

Two Postdoctoral fellowships available at the David Geffen School of
Medicine at UCLA
We invite applications for two 3-year postdoctoral research
fellowships in Professor Blower's research group in the Biomedical
Modeling Center at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. One
position is in Spatial Ecology and Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases
in Africa. The other position is focused on modeling the Evolutionary
Dynamics of Drug-Resistance in Resource-Rich countries. Both projects
will involve computational and mathematical modeling, as well as
statistical analyses of very rich detailed databases. Support is
through an NIH grant. The salary is $52,000 plus fringe benefits.
Starting date is negotiable. Applicants must have a doctorate in
Applied Mathematics, Operations Research, Biostatistics, Mathematical
Biology, Theoretical Ecology, Spatial Ecology/Epidemiology, Health
Geographics or a closely related field. We are most interested in
applicants with extensive experience in spatial statistics and
analysis of georeferenced data. We are also extremely interested in
applicants who have worked on the spatial aspects of malaria. Please
visit www.semel.ucla.edu/biomedicalmodeling
<http://www.semel.ucla.edu/biomedicalmodeling>
for more information about our research group, where we work (Los
Angeles ? where you can't beat the weather, movie openings and
beaches) and pdfs of our recent publications.
If you are interested in either of these positions please contact
Professor Sally Blower at
sally.blower@gmail.com<mailto:sally.blower@gmail.com> Applicants
should send a cover letter, a detailed CV, a brief statement of
research interests, and the names (and email addresses) of three
references. The cover letter should discuss possible starting dates.
Review of applications will start immediately and will continue until

Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Theoretical Immunology
Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York
A postdoctoral position is available in our group in the Department of
Systems and Computational Biology.
We work on a variety of questions relating to the dynamics of T cell
development, maintenance and responses to pathogens. Some of our
current interests are (i) understanding how developing T cells process
information during selection in the thymus, (ii) quantifying turnover
of hematopoietic cell lineages, (iii) understanding how recent thymic
emigrants and mature naive T cells integrate homeostatic stimuli, and
(iv) spatial modeling of the very earliest stages of HIV infection in
humanised mouse models. Your work will be theoretical and/or
data-driven, using deterministic or stochastic models, analytical or
computational, where appropriate. You will likely have the opportunity
to work with data from dedicated experiments that we design in
collaboration with experimental Immunologists.
Applicants must have a PhD degree in Physics, Mathematics, Computer
Science or equivalent. Previous experience of immunological modeling
and/or a basic background in immunology will be a strong advantage.
The post is available immediately, initially for 1 year, with possible
extension to 3 years.
