Postdoctoral position: Multiscale molecular simulations for the virtual physiological human by Catherine Gale — last modified 2008-07-16 11:43

The candidate will have a profile on molecular modelling and molecular simulations, with programming abilities, in order to study energetics and dynamics of proteins with emphasis on conformational sampling, aggregation and channel blocking. Minimum two years duration, starting September 2008. Based at Barcelona Biomedical Research Park, WWW.PRBB.ORG, Barcelona, Spain. Contact: gianni.defabritiis@upf.edu

Postdoctoral Position is immediately available in the Virtual Physiological Human Network of Excellence (VPH-NoE), for SAPHIR Exemplar Project by Catherine Gale — last modified 2008-07-16 11:43

The position involves adaptation of VPH ToolKit techniques to an existing multi-organ mathematical model (see http://saphir.ibisc.fr/) of blood pressure regulation and fluids balance (funded by the French ANR (National Research Agency)). In particular, this job involves a variety of physiological modeling techniques and ICT tools for sharing and cooperative development with a patient-specific clinical endpoint. Models and parameter data will be curated in appropriate databases. Our laboratory uses a multidisciplinary environment for multi-scale modeling in physiology, including markup languages (such as CellML), physiological parameter databases, and ontology development. Candidates must have a degree in biomedical engineering or a Ph.D. in one of the relevant fields. The host laboratory is part of the Evry Genopole, near Paris, and also involves substantial travel for collaboration with laboratories in England and other EU countries. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a description of research interests, and a list of three people willing to write letters of reference to S. Randall Thomas Ph.D., IBISC CNRS FRE 3190, Tour Evry 2, 91000 Evry, France. Email: srthomas@ibisc.univ-evry.fr for more information.

Postdoctoral Position is immediately available in the Virtual Physiological Human Network of Excellence (VPH-NoE), for project strategy analysis and development. by Catherine Gale — last modified 2008-07-16 11:43

The position involves elaboration of a Strategy Document for cooperation among, on one hand, NoE partners developing a VPH ToolKit, and on the other hand, nationally funded European laboratories working on various physiome-related projects. The host laboratory is part of the Evry Genopole, near Paris, and the work will necessitate travel to partner laboratories in several EU countries. Highly motivated applicants with excellent English and a background in biomedical engineering or computer science and experience in physiology modeling or relevant ICT technologies (XML, database, or GUI development...) are encouraged to apply. Candidates must have a degree in biomedical engineering or a Ph.D. in one of the relevant fields. Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a description of research interests, and a list of three people willing to write letters of reference to S. Randall Thomas Ph.D., IBISC CNRS FRE 3190, Tour Evry 2, 91000 Evry, France. For more information email: srthomas@ibisc.univ-evry.fr.
