Subject: SMB 2017 early careers workshop
There is a pre-conference workshop scheduled for Sunday July 16th in Salt Lake
City, Utah.
All are welcome to attend and the cost is $25. Registration for the workshop
can be done at the same time as conference registration. However if you have
already registered for the conference, you can add this workshop to you
registration by emailing smb2017@math.utah.edu.
Please note the workshop is separate from the in-meeting mentoring programme
where mentors are matched with mentees. Registration for this can also be
completed at the same time as conference registration.
Workshop agenda:
12-1 Lunch
1-1.30 Welcome and introduction
1.30-2 Judy Project (including leadership, personal branding, networks,
designing your future, gender and diversity considerations)
2-2.30 Elevator pitch working session
2.30-3.30 Careers Panel (including Government scientists, Publishing,
Academia; junior scientist facilitated)
3.30-4 break
4-6 Getting a tenure track job
6-8 dinner and informal discussions

Subject: Springer Book: Modeling Cellular Systems
Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our recent book on "Modeling Cellular
Systems" that was published with Springer
(http://www.springer.com/gb/book/9783319458311).
This contributed volume comprises research articles and reviews on topics
connected to the mathematical modeling of cellular systems. These
contributions cover signaling pathways, stochastic effects, cell motility and
mechanics, pattern formation processes, as well as multi-scale approaches. All
authors attended the workshop on "Modeling Cellular Systems" which took place
in Heidelberg in October 2014. The target audience primarily comprises
researchers and experts in the field, but the book may also be beneficial for
graduate students.
Table of contents:
- Spatiotemporal Modeling of Membrane Receptors
- Distribution Approximations for the Chemical Master Equation: Comparison of
the Method of Moments and the System Size Expansion
- Sampling from T Cell Receptor Repertoires
- IL-2 Stimulation of Regulatory T Cells: A Stochastic and Algorithmic Approach
- Understanding the Role of Mitochondria Distribution
in Calcium Dynamics and Secretion in Bovine Chromaffin Cells
- Dynamical Features of the MAP Kinase Cascade
- Numerical Treatment of the Filament-Based Lamellipodium Model (FBLM)
Best regards,
Frederik Graw, Franziska Matthäus and Jürgen Pahle (eds.)

Subject: NIMBioS Seeks Proposals for Accelerator Tutorials
Got an innovative idea for teaching new quantitative approaches? The National
Institute for Mathematical and Biological Synthesis (NIMBioS) seeks proposals
for its new Accelerator Tutorials, which aim to provide both students and
professionals in-depth, cross-disciplinary instruction in quantitative topics.
Through Accelerator Tutorials, researchers master quantitative approaches
within their own disciplines. Accelerator Tutorials help educators bring
quantitative approaches to their classrooms. Whether you are in academia,
government or industry, Accelerator Tutorials help you learn the latest
mathematical and computational approaches to solving complex or data intensive
research problems.
Accelerator Tutorials run for 3 to 5 days with nationally and internationally
recognized professors and researchers as instructors. Tutorials can be held
onsite at NIMBioS or with virtual participants held live online at NIMBioS.
Applications are invited for proposals for Accelerator Tutorials three times
each year with deadlines on July 1, November 1, and April 1. Researchers
interested in organizing an Accelerator Tutorial must submit a formal
application to NIMBioS describing the proposed tutorial and the mathematical/
computational concept(s) to be taught. The description should include names of
4 to 6 primary instructors/presenters, including the organizers. Organizers
select the instructors. An additional 25 to 35 participants will be identified
through an open application process.

The Kim Lab (http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~jaekkim/) at the Korea Advanced
Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST)?s Department of Mathematical
Sciences has announced a postdoctoral fellow to work in the area of
mathematical biology. The postdoctoral fellow will work specifically on
developing a mathematical model and performing data analysis to investigate
the function of the circadian clock to mediate sleep-regulated neurophysiology
and cognition in collaboration with an optogenetic lab (U of Düsseldorf) and
sleep labs (U of Michigan and U of Groningen). The position is supported by
Human Frontier Science Program (http://www.hfsp.org/funding/research-grants)
for three years (2017-2020). It will be renewed yearly subject to satisfactory
performance.
Candidates should have experience in the mathematical modeling of biological
systems and an understanding of biochemical kinetics and cell biology. Data
analysis experience (e.g. Machine learning) is recommended, but not required.
For inquiries, please contact Prof. Jae Kyoung Kim via email at
jaekkim@kaist.ac.kr. Applications, including a full CV, a cover letter
explaining suitability for the position, and the names and addresses of two
referees should be sent to Prof. Kim.
