NIBR/EPFL/ETHZ - PostDoc in Computational Systems Biology (details in pdf)
Positions at ETHZ - Computational Systems
Biology
Heinz Koeppl is seeking
candidates for open postdoctoral and Ph.D. positions for his new
group
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich
(ETHZ). The group will be part of the
Automatic Control Laboratory and starts in fall 2010. Theme of the group is to apply formal methods to problems in
computational systems biology. Directions include bounding solutions of
uncertain reaction systems, for instance through "hybridization"; stochastic
simulation algorithms of chemical kinetics and rule-based systems using the
framework of stochastic hybrid automata. Modeling protein-assembly by local
rules - graph-rewriting systems in general; spatial (Smoluchowski-type)
modeling; development of a compositional theory for biomolecular circuits for the forward design of biomolecular
devices from standardized genetic parts, i.e. for synthetic biology; parameter
estimation from single-cell data; robustness analysis, identifiability analysis
and parameter estimation.
The group will have a strong interdisciplinary
character and will maintain close collaborations with experimental groups (in
particular the Peter Lab, Institute of
Biochemistry, ETHZ and the Novartis Institute
for BioMedical Research, Basel).
Interested candidates with a strong mathematical and computational
background, experienced or interested in biomolecular modeling are invited to apply. Their
application package, including list of publications, CV with contact details of
at least three references, should be sent (as a single PDF) to
firstname.lastname@epfl.ch (with
the obvious replacement).
