Postdoc and PhD positions in Computational Systems Biology : Basel, Switzerland

Job description

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship and a Post-Doc
position, within the Computational Biology Group at the Department of
Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich.

The group focuses on the development of detailed, predictive models
for cellular signaling networks with a view to develop a comprehensive
understanding of the dynamics and evolution of cellular signaling.
Projects are carried out in close collaboration with experimental
groups so that quantitative data is available and model predictions
can be tested in experiments.

Applicants should have a strong background in mathematical and
computational modeling or statistics, and demonstrated experience in
nonlinear dynamics and numerical calculations. PhD candidates should
hold or expect to obtain an MSc degree or diploma in a numerate
discipline (e.g. mathematics, physics, statistics, computational
biology, or related areas).

The Department of Biosystems Science and Engineering of ETH Zurich is
an integral part of SystemX.ch, the Swiss initiative in Systems
Biology. It is located in Basel, a European hotspot for biomedical
research, in close proximity of the Biozentrum of the University of
Basel, the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, and
the pharmaceutical and biotech industry. ETH Zurich is a major
research university, offering an excellent environment for innovative
and collaborative research across disciplines.
