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 and computational neuroscience 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 study the properties and behaviors of complex biological
systems. Possible areas of expertise include but are not limited to
networks, multiscale modeling, control theory, dynamical systems, and
stochastic modeling. The successful applicant will be an acknowledged
international leader in the area of systems biology, with an exemplary
track record in research, funding, and education.
The applicant must also be able to contribute to WPI's growing
interdisciplinary programs, including the Bioinformatics and
Computational Biology program and collaborative initiatives underway
with UMass Medical School. The successful applicant is expected to
assume a leadership role in the systems biology research cluster,
maintain a high-quality research program and contribute to the teaching
mission of the institute both at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
Applicants must have a Ph.D. in Mathematics, or in a related area, and
must already be tenured at their current institution. A degree in the
life sciences is a plus.

Date: Tue, Oct 17, 2017 at 11:41 AMSubject: NSF: Update, Collab. Research, Comp. Neurosci. Deadline Jan 5
An updated NSF program solicitation (NSF 18-501) is now available:
Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS)
Please see
https://nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5147 for details
Full Proposal Deadline Date: January 5, 2018
From the program synopsis:
Computational neuroscience provides a theoretical foundation and a rich
set of technical approaches for understanding complex neurobiological
systems, building on the theory, methods, and findings of computer
science, neuroscience, and numerous other disciplines.
Through the CRCNS program, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the
National Institutes of Health (NIH), the German Federal Ministry of
Education and Research (Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung,
BMBF), the French National Research Agency (Agence Nationale de la
Recherche, ANR), the United States-Israel Binational Science Foundation
(BSF), and Japan's National Institute of Information and Communications
Technology (NICT) support collaborative activities that will advance the
understanding of nervous system structure and function, mechanisms
underlying nervous system disorders, and computational strategies used
by the nervous system.
Two classes of proposals will be considered in response to this
solicitation:
1. Research Proposals describing collaborative research projects, and
2. Data Sharing Proposals to enable sharing of data and other resources.
Domestic and international projects will be considered. As detailed in
the solicitation, international components of collaborative projects may
be funded in parallel by the participating agencies. Specific CRCNS
opportunities for parallel funding are available for bilateral US-German
Research Proposals, US-German Data Sharing Proposals, US-French Research
Proposals, US-French Data Sharing Proposals, US-Israeli Research
Proposals, US-Israeli Data Sharing Proposals, US-Japanese Research
Proposals, US-Japanese Data Sharing Proposals, and multilateral
proposals involving the United States and two or more partnering
countries (Germany, France, Israel, and/or Japan).
