Title of the event:
Modelling Week on Computational Physiology: Risk Stratification Models
and Tools (ComPh), March 20-24, Oslo, Norway
Description:
The 5-day event will provide the unique training opportunities for students
in natural sciences to explore and design computational tools for modelling
and data analysis from existing and developing experimental modalities in
various biomedical fields (cardiology, cancer, etc.). Starting with a gentle
introduction to biostatistics, system biology, computational physiology, and
big data analysis, the course will discuss state-of- the-art techniques in
the corresponding fields as well as their translatability to scientific and
industrial applications as well as routine clinical use. Practical projects
outlining industrial and societal challenges will give the opportunity to
have hands on experience and apply the techniques to real-life problems.
This event, co-funded by the MI-NET COST Action, aims at contributing to
promote the industrial-driven research and innovation at universities as
well as to encourage female involvement in natural sciences. The event
is open to everyone with an interest in the topics and techniques of the
school but registration is required. There are five stipends available to
fully cover costs associated with travel and accommodation.
The event is jointly organised by Simula Research Laboratory and Helmholtz
Zentrum Munich. For further information, please visit the event's website:

Subject: CfA: Summer Graduate Program on Connecting Biological Data with ...
Graduate students in math, biology and related fields are encouraged to
apply to the 2017 Graduate Summer Program on Connecting Biological Data with
Mathematical Models, to be held June 19-23, 2017, at the National Institute
for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) at the University of
Tennessee-Knoxville.
Providing students with broad high-level training in mathematical biology,
the program includes lectures on techniques and modeling using specific
data sets, computer activities focusing on learning techniques, and feedback
sessions on participants' research problems. Some techniques to be covered
include maximum likelihood and Bayesian approaches to inference, parameter
estimation, model identifiability, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis
Researchers from the mathematical and biological sciences will be featured
speakers, including Ben Bolker (McMaster University); Ariel Cintron-Arias
(East Tennessee State University); Marisa Eisenberg (School of Public Health,
University of Michigan); Nina Fefferman (University of Tennessee, Knoxville);
Simeone Marino (University of Michigan Medical School); and Joseph Tien
(The Ohio State University).
Co-sponsors: NIMBioS, the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (MBI, Ohio
State), and the Centre for Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine
(CAMBAM)
Application Deadline: Applications for acceptance to the school received
before February 3, 2017 will receive full consideration.
The registration fee of $300, which includes on-campus housing and meals,
is due upon acceptance. Participants are responsible for their own travel
to Knoxville. A very limited amount of travel support is available for
those demonstrating need.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position, Stochastic Reaction Networks, UC Irvine
The Enciso lab at the University of California, Irvine, has an open position for
a postdoctoral researcher in the area of mathematical and computational biology.
We will develop new theoretical methods to approximate noise in stochastic
chemical reaction networks. These methods will be used in the context of
experimental models in molecular and cell biology. This work is part of a new
interdisciplinary collaboration together with systems biology researchers at
Harvard Medical School and Caltech, funded by DARPA. Experience with numerical
simulations, preferably using Matlab, is strongly desired, as is also a
familiarity with stochastic methods (chemical master equation, moment closure,
SSA algorithm etc). To apply, and for additional information, see

Subject: Max Wyman Assistant Professor Position at University of Alberta
The Department of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences at the University of
Alberta, invites applications for a Max Wyman Term Assistant Professorship
in Mathematics and Statistics. This is a non-tenure-track, three-year
fixed-term position under the Contract Academic Staff: Teaching Agreement
(CAST). Although open to all areas of mathematics and statistics, priority
will be given to Mathematical Biology, Mathematical Finance, Mathematical
Physics, Probability and Statistics. Candidates whose research directly
relates to that of one or more professors in the department will be given
hiring preference.
The position offers a stimulating research and teaching environment
with a reduced teaching load (averaging two one-semester courses per
year). A start-up research grant is included with the position. Salary
is commensurate with that of an Assistant Professor. Review of
applications will begin December 30, 2016, however the competition
will remain open until filled. Full details can be found at
https://www.ualberta.ca/mathematical-and-statistical-sciences/career-opportunities.
