Postdoctoral position for 2008-09

Modelling actin-based cell motility and its biochemical regulation

Vancouver, British Columbia

A PDF position has reopened in the Mathematical Biology group at UBC.

We are still seeking an excellent candiate for this job.

Job description

(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 post-doctoral fellows are sought from either experimental cell biology background (with strong interest in quantitative methods and modelling) or mathematical/biophysics background. Applications are also welcomed from candidates with strong computational skills (e.g. finite element, immersed boundary) wishing to enter this area.

Setting

The Math-Biology group at UBC presents many opportunities to work on a variety of exciting research (including, but not limited to theoretical immunology, neurophysiology, epidemiology, ecology and evolution) and to collaborate with other researchers. PDFs are encouraged to explore a variety of interests within this setting.

In future, teaching in the Dept of Mathematics could be arranged, subject to interest and approval by the Department.

Preference will be given to candidates with track record in quantitative research with good communication skills, and with ability to work well both independently and in a team.

Please send the following material: (1) CV including a list of publications, preprints, reprints (2) statement of research interests (3) names, addresses, email addresses, of three people who could provide letters of reference on your behalf
