Predictive Modeling of Cancer and Epigenetic
Networks
Northwestern University has
openings for postdoctoral positions
focused on developing quantitative predictive models
of cancer; this project is part of Northwestern's
Physical Science-Oncology Center
(PS-OC) on "The Coding, Decoding, Transfer and
Translation of Information in Cancer", funded by the
National Cancer Institute (Jon Widom, PI).
Postdoctoral fellows will be mentored by faculty
members of the
Northwestern Institute on Complex
Systems (NICO), specifically Luis
A. N. Amaral, Dirk Brockmann, William
L. Kath and Adilson E. Motter. The ideal
candidate will have experience in the areas of systems
biology, nonlinear dynamics, computer simulations and
complex networks. Previous experience with cancer
biology, epigenetics and the data analysis of
biomolecular systems would be a plus. Competitive
candidates will also have good writing skills and a
demonstrated ability to conduct independent high
impact research.
The appointment is available immediately; evaluation of
candidates will begin December 1, 2009. Salary is
competitive, depending on qualifications and experience. To
