Subject: MLCB 09 "New Problems and Methods in Computational Biology",call for contribution]To: SCIC Call for contributions New Problems and Methods in Computational Biology http://www.mlcb.org A workshop at the Twenty-Third Annual Conference on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS 2009) Whistler, BC, Canada, December 11 or 12, 2009.Deadline for submission of extended abstracts: September 27, 2009,WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONThe field of computational biology has seen dramatic growth overthe past few years, in terms of newly available data, newscientific questions and new challenges for learning andinference. In particular, biological data is often relationallystructured and highly diverse, and thus requires combining multipleweak evidence from heterogeneous sources. These sources includesequenced genomes of a variety of organisms, gene expression datafrom multiple technologies, protein sequence and 3D structuraldata, protein interaction data, gene ontology and pathwaydatabases, genetic variation data (such as SNPs), and an enormousamount of text data in the biological and medical literature. Thesenew types of scientific and clinical problems require novel
supervised and unsupervised learning approaches that can use thesegrowing resources.The workshop will host presentations of emerging problems andmachine learning techniques in computational biology. We encouragecontributions describing either progress on new bioinformaticsproblems or work on established problems using methods that aresubstantially different from standard approaches. Kernel methods,graphical models, semi-supervised approaches, feature selectionand other techniques applied to relevant bioinformatics problemswould all be appropriate for the workshop.SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONSResearchers interested in contributing should upload an extendedabstract of 1-6 pages in PDF format to the MLCB submission websitehttp://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mlcb2009by September27,2009, 11:59pm (Samoa time).No special style is required. Authors may use the NIPS style file, butare also free to use other styles as long as they use standard fontsize (11-12 pt) and margins (1 in).All submissions will be anonymously peer reviewed and will beevaluated on the basis of their technical content. A strongsubmission to the workshop typically presents a new learning methodthat yields new biological insights, or applies an existing learningmethod to a new biological problem. However, submissions that improveupon existing methods for solving previously studied problems willalso be considered. Examples of research presented in previous yearscan be found online athttp://www.mlcb.org/nipscompbio/previous/.Please note that accepted abstracts will be posted online
atwww.mlcb.org. Authors may submit two versions of their abstract, alonger version for review and a shorter version for posting to the webpage. In addition, presentations will be video taped and publishedonline as part of the videolectures.net website supported by Pascal.The workshop allows submissions of papers that are under review orhave been recently published in a conference or a journal. This isdone to encourage presentation of mature research projects that areinteresting to the community. The authors should clearly state anyoverlapping published work at time of submission.

3 Post-doc Positions @ University of Queensland - School of Population Health - reg.,
3 Post-doc Positions @ University of Queensland - School of Population Health - reg.,Three Post-Doctoral positions - Papua New Guinea (Epidemiology M & E, Health Systems, Social/Public Health)Applications close: 11 September 2009In the next 5 years, the National Malarial Control Program (NMCP) aims to intensify the control of malaria in Papua New Guinea through the introduction of artemininin-combination treatment (ACTs), the improvement of diagnostic and curative services and the distribution of long lasting insecticide treated bednets (LLINs). As part of this Global Fund for AIDS, TB & Malaria (GFATM) funded program, the PNG Institute of Medical Research (PNG IMR) has been contracted by the PNG National Department of Health to conduct independent Monitoring & Evaluation of the outcomes and impact of the NMCP. This will be achieved by conducting regular national-wide malaria and health systems indicator surveys and establishing a national network of sentinel sites to monitor longitudinal trends in malaria prevalence & incidence, drug resistance, quality of diagnosis and treatment, coverage & use of LLINs and community behavioural change in regards to malaria control.This M&E program will be supplemented through the conduct of targeted operational research studies addressing major challenges encountered in the delivery of the main NMCP intervention programs. The research program will be carried out by 3 senior researchers, supported by a group of junior researchers and field staff. Besides its crucial function of informing the NMCP and GFATM on program progress, these studies also provide a unique opportunity to conduct in-depth research on the impact of intensified malarial control on the epidemiology of malaria, the delivery of health services in rural areas and/or studies on knowledge, attitude and practices in relation to malaria treatment and control. The proposed research program thus provides a unique opportunity to combine operational and in-depth research approaches in close collaboration with a national malaria control program.1.
