Postdoctoral Scholar Position

University of California, Irvine

 

Applications are sought for a postdoctoral researcher to create new computational models of plant development with the Computable Plant project, www.computableplant.org.  This project applies a combination of network and spatio-temporal dynamics to build models constrained by expression imagery and other experimental data. The successful candidate will have (1) a PhD and strong quantitative background in physics, applied mathematics, systems biology, scientific computing, machine learning, or related fields.  Preferably, he or she will also have (2) expertise in the use of predictive dynamical systems for biological modeling, including regulatory network models; (3) understanding of and experience with experimental biological research and data; and (4) evidence of good software engineering skills.

 

The salary range for this position is $31,668 to $48,096 annually, commensurate with training and experience. The initial appointment will be for a year, with extension to further years dependent in part on the availability of extra-mural funding.

 

Interested applicants should respond no later than the closing date of January 20, 2006 for appointment on March 1, 2006, by forwarding a cover letter, Curriculum Vitae, and the names of three references to:
