Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Systems Biology 893 views

The Luxembourg Centre for Systems Biomedicine (LCSB) at the University of Luxembourg invites applications for Postdoctoral Researcher in Computational Systems Biology on project (m/f).

Duration: Fixed-term contract; 12 months (with possibility of renewal depending on the postdoctoral researcher’s performance and funding)

Role and responsibilities:

• The selected postdoctoral researcher will work on an exciting project on the application of network biology approaches to study the role of transcriptional regulatory mechanisms in salamander limb regeneration.
• The selected candidate shall develop a computational model that integrates gene regulatory networks with signaling pathways using transcriptome data generated from regenerating salamander limbs over different time points in order to gain a systems level understanding of this process.
• Predictions generated by the computational models will be experimentally validated in collaboration with Prof. Elly Tanaka’s lab at the IMP Research Institute of Molecular Pathology in Vienna.

Requirements:

• Applicant must hold PhD degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Physics or a related discipline
• Applicant must possess strong computational skills and prior experience in mathematical modelling of biological networks is strongly desired
• Applicant must have strong first-author publication record in the fields of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
• Applicant must also possess excellent working knowledge in English.

Applications:

Apply online and applications should contain the following documents:

• A detailed CV
• Cover letter mentioning the reference number
• Description of past research experience and future interests
• Name and addresses of two or three referees
