| Postdoctoral Positions
Unsolicited enquiries about postdoctoral positions should be sent informally by email to the relevant member(s) of the math biology faculty.
Full applications can be made on the department application website, http://www.math.ubc.ca/Dept/deptJobs.shtml.
Applications are considered at any time but, for administrative reasons, it is advantageous if they are received by the end of the calendar year preceding the proposed start date.
Advertisements for specific postdoctoral positions will be posted below.
Applications are invited for two Postdoctoral Positions in Mathematical Modeling within the Division of Mathematical Modeling (DMM) at the University of British Columbia Centre for Disease Control, BC, Canada. For more information, visit http://www.nature.com/naturejobs/science/jobs/24799
Postdoctoral and Graduate Student positions
Mathematical Biology, University of British Columbia
Depending on availability of funding, we may have a number of opportunities for outstanding young scientists seeking either post-graduate (MSc., PhD.) or post-doctoral position(s) in the following areas:
(1) Modelling the cytoskeleton, cell motility, and signal transduction:
The research focuses on the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and
implications for cell polarity and motility.
Incoming graduate students should have a BSc. (and excellent track record) in mathematics, including differential equations and exposure
to modelling. Some background in biology at the undergraduate level is highly desirable.
Incoming post-doctoral fellows are sought from either experimental cell
biology background (with strong interest in quantitative methods and
modelling) or mathematical/biophysics background (with strong interest
and track record in cell-biology modelling).
(2) Biomedical modeling of physiological systems and disease. Our
MITACS-funded projects at UBC Dept. of Mathematics have included
research on Type 1 Diabetes, Alzheimer's Disease, and immunology.
We occasionally have openings on projects sponsored by industrial
partners. Internships that combine modeling and experimental work
are also occasionally available.
In both cases, preference will be given to candidates with track record
in research, with good communication skills, and with ability to work well both independently and in a team.
For PDF position you can apply online via
www.math.ubc.ca (see link to Jobs). You will need to
(1) send a CV including a list of publications, preprints, reprints
(2) send a statement of research and teaching interests
(3) arrange for three letters of recommendation to be sent to
pdf-chair(at)math.ubc.ca
Students interested in PhD, MSc positions should refer to http://www.math.ubc.ca/Grad/gradAdmissions.shtml. Questions can be directed to admiss(at)math.ubc.ca, with a copy to L. Keshet, Dept of Mathematics, UBC, keshet(at)math.ubc.ca
