[DMANET] Postdoc position in mathematical modeling of biological processes, University of Heidelberg

The ViroQuant research group "Modeling" at the University of Heidelberg
in Germany is a young, interdisciplinary research team focusing on
theoretical systems biology, bioinformatics and mathematical modeling.
We are located in the BioQuant center, one of the leading systems
biology centers in Europe.

We are presently looking for a Postdoctoral fellow to strengthen our
research efforts in bioinformatics and computational systems biology.
The position is intended to allow the successful candidate to establish
their own independent research program within the broad research area of
the group. Additional information on ongoing research in the group is
available from our webpage at
http://hades1.bioquant.uni-heidelberg.de/research.html.

Applicants should have a background in systems biology,
(bio)inforamtics, mathematics, physics, or related disciplines, ideally
already with experience in biological applications. Good background
knowledge in one or more of machine learning, mathematical modeling of
biological processes, dynamical systems and / or statistics is
advantageous. We expect the applicant to be willing to collaborate
closely with experimental partners in house, and offer an
interdisciplinary environment in an exciting research area.

The successful candidate will be member of the Cellular Networks Postdoc
Program, see http://www.cellnetworks.uni-hd.de.

Candidates will have to undergo a selection procedure by a committe of
the University. The successful applicant will be member of the
cellnetworks excellence cluster postdoctoral program, and will receive a
