Subject: Postdoc: QSP, U. at Buffalo, US

The University at Buffalo (UB) Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences
has an exciting opportunity available to join a cancer pharmacology
lab that emphasizes pharmacokinetic (PK), pharmacodynamic (PD), and
quantitative systems pharmacology (QSP) approaches to study brain
tumors. The lab integrates experimental data with mathematical models
or QSP models to characterize drug action and predict drug responses
in patients.  The ultimate goal is to bridge preclinical and clinical
drug development paradigms and advance precision medicine.

The position is in the lab of Prof. James M. Gallo (jmgallo@buffalo.edu) in
the Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, School of Pharmacy and
Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. The department
is a premier research unit with a storied tradition of excellence in
PK/PD research. Ongoing projects are in anticancer drug development,
drug resistance, cell state, epigenetics and tumor heterogeneity.

The scientist will join a highly interactive department with a central
focus of PK/PD/QSP modeling, and have opportunities to interact with
highly talented graduate students, and scientists within the
university including Roswell Park Cancer Institute.

Please apply by sending a CV directly to J. M. Gallo directly at the
above email.

Position Responsibilities:
Develop PK/PD/QSP models using a variety of computer programs.
Participate in lab meetings and contribute to the training of
students and lab personnel in advanced modeling methods.
Interact positively with scientific personnel across different
disciplines to advance QSP.
Provide expert support of computer systems used for the labs
modeling efforts.
Maintain abreast of current literature in the fields relevant
to lab projects.
Provide reports based on your work for scientific publications
and extramural funding applications.
Advance your knowledge of QSP modeling methods and implement
those as needed.

Position Requirements:
Ph.D. in Engineering, Mathematics, Pharmacometrics, Systems
   Biology/Pharmacology or a related field.
Demonstration of mathematical modeling & computer simulation
  experience; preferably related to biomedical/pharmaceutical
  applications.
Expertise in Matlab/SimBiology/Simulink.
Additional familiarity with R, JDesigner/Systems Biology
  Workbench, and related programs desirable.

The University at Buffalo is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity
Employer (AA/EOE).
