Subject: 3rd Maxwell Institute Graduate School on Evolution Equations
We would like to announce the 3rd Maxwell Institute Graduate School on
Evolution Equations, to be held at the ICMS from 15 to 17 November 2017.
This year the school will be at the interface of math biology, applied and
numerical analysis. It will consist of 2 short courses by Jean-Frederic
Gerbeau (Inria/Paris, on numerical analysis of fluid/structure interaction
and the cardiovascular system, inverse problems and data assimilation) and
Hans Othmer (Minnesota, on modeling, shape analysis and the boundary
integral method in the context of cell movement).
The remainder of the programme will be completed by a variety of additional
talks given by UK-wide senior and junior speakers. We also expect to hold
an afternoon of talks by Ph.D. students and young postdocs.
Preliminary information may be found on the conference web page
http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~hg94/evo17 which will be updated in course.

Subject: CfP: Bio-molecular data modeling and mining
The journal Molecular Based Mathematical Biology (MBMB) will publish a
special issue entitled "Bio-molecular data modeling and mining". The purpose
of this special issue is to create a medium for researchers from
mathematical, computational and biological sciences and other related
disciplines to report novel mathematical models, computational algorithms,
and biological applications to the data mining, machine learning, knowledge
discovery and pattern recognition from large-scale bio-molecular data of
various types and dimensionalities, include but not limit to 1D sequence,
2D image, 3D volume and structure data.
MBMB (http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/mlbmb) is a recently established
journal, whose aim is to promote the mathematical study and findings of
biological structure, functions and dynamics at the molecular scale.
Original papers and high-quality review articles on the aforementioned
topics are solicited for this special issue.
More details of this special issue can be found at

Subject: Postdoc: Mathematical biology, Glasgow
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research position in
Mathematical Biology, based in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at
the University of Glasgow. The successful candidate will work on a new
research project funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research
Council (EPSRC), constructing a mathematical model for retinal haemorrhage
following a traumatic brain injury, working with Dr Peter Stewart and the
EPSRC SofTMech centre. The post is funded for 13 months in the first
instance.
The project aims to understand the propagation and interaction of elastic
jumps (shock waves) across networks of blood vessels at the rear of the eye
following a sudden increase in intracranial pressure. The project will
examine how the resulting large gradients in pressure can induce bursting
of blood vessels, and hence retinal haemorrhage. Specifically, the job
requires a PhD (or recently submitted or near completion) in mathematical
biology along with an expert knowledge in fluid dynamics and continuum
mechanics.

Subject: Postdoc: Tissue modelling, Brisbane
A 2-year postdoctoral research associate position is available in
mathematical biology at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia.
The position is linked to a research project on modelling tissue morphology
using computational models for representing mechanical interactions between
cells. The candidates should have experience in mathematical modelling and
computer simulations of biological systems. The position is based in the
School of Mathematics and Physics with opportunities for collaboration with
experimental groups at the UQ Institute for Molecular Biosciences and for
participating in international research collaboration in the US.
Applications must be submitted using UQ Jobs:

Position: The WPI Department of Mathematical Sciences invites applications
for a senior position at the full professor level to begin in the fall of
2018. The broad focus is in the area of systems biology and biological
networks. This position is part of a broad cluster hire initiative in
systems biology at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, which has already
resulted in junior hires in the past year. We seek candidates that use
sophisticated analytical or computational techniques to determine emergent
properties of complex systems. Possible areas of expertise include but are
not limited to networks, multiscale modeling, control theory, dynamical
systems, and stochastic modeling.

The Departments of Mathematics and Biology invite applications at the level
of Associate or Full Professor for the Calabi-Simons Chair in Mathematics
and Biology. This is a permanent endowed chair for which we are seeking an
exceptionally accomplished mathematical biologist, particularly in the
fields of Probability Theory and Evolution. Responsibilities include
teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in Mathematics and Biology and
conducting research in the field. The chair-holder will help build
excellence in this field at Penn and strengthen links between the
Mathematics and Biology departments. The Simons Foundation provides generous
programmatic funds, which could support graduate students and postdoctoral
fellows as well as seminars and conferences.
Applications should be submitted online through mathjobs.org (Position ID
#10278) and include the following items: a cover letter, curriculum vitae,
research statement, and a publication list.
Review of applications will begin July 1, 2017 and will continue until the
position is filled. It is anticipated that the position will start July 1,
2018.
