Employer: Karolinska Institutet, Dep. of Medicine, Unit for Computational Medicine Website: http://www.ki.se Location: Sweden, Stockholm Type: Postdoctoral Posted: January 11, 2011 Expires: March 12, 2011 Requisition number: 07339/2010 Area of responsibilities/description of the work:
A three year (1+2) postdoctoral position, funded by an FP7 project – SYNERGY, is open. The position involves computational ysis and simulation of established models of lung, skeletal muscle and the heart at different organization levels. Parameter sensitivity ysis and optimization techniques are important tools in understanding the behavior of the individual models as well as when the models are interconnected. This work is part of the larger SYNERGY project funded by the European VPH initiative (see http://www.vph-noe.eu/). The work is performed in collaboration with leading researchers in Europe and Spain in particular, aiming to develop a simulation environment and a decision-support system aiming at enabling deployment of systems medicine. The three core elements are a knowledge base (KB), an inference engine (IE), and a graphical visualisation environment (GVE). The SYNERGY project focuses on patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The successful applicant will work in WP4 and WP5 on vertical and horizontal model integration and ysis. The position is located at the Unit for Computational Medicine (www.compmed.se), at the Department of Medicine, Solna, Karolinska Institutet. The Unit is physically located at the Center for Molecular Medicine (CMM) (www.cmm.ki.se) that offers an outstanding research environment in the field of complex disease. Qualifications:
Applications are invited from highly talented and enthusiastic researchers with a PhD degree or a foreign qualification deemed equivalent to a doctorate. A strong background in computational science and model ysis is required. The ideal candidate will be experienced in computational ODE modeling, simulation, large-scale computing, optimization techniques, and programming (SQL, C++, script languages). Broad knowledge of applied mathematics and ysis of simulation results using statistics and machine learning methods is required. Experience with computational biology, systems biology and biology, LINUX as well as documented ability to work in collaborative projects is meriting. Interest in the overall VPH project – approach and tools is meriting. Good knowledge of spoken and written English is required. To qualify, the applicant must hold a doctor’s degree or a foreign qualification deemed equivalent to a doctorate. Applicants who have completed their degree no more than three years before the last date for applications should be given priority. Candidates who have completed their degree earlier than this should receive equal priority if special grounds exist. Postgraduates who have yet to graduate may apply if their public defense is scheduled to take place within three months after the application deadline, in which case verification from the Dissertation Committee or equivalent body must be submitted with the application.
