Applications are invited for two Early Stage Researcher Positions in computational systems biology starting in early 2016.

We are looking for people with a recent (obtained during the last 4 years) Master in Engineering, Math or Physics and interest in optimization and control of biological systems. These Marie-Curie positions are an excellent opportunity to perform research and obtain a very good training.

There are 2 positions:

Position ESR6: novel optimization methods for systematic development of dynamic models of biological systems.

Position ESR7: optimal control methods to explain and/or predict structure and operating principles in biochemical pathways.

Duration: 36 months. These Early Stage Reseachers (ESRs) will be hired for 36 months each and will be expected to pursue a PhD. Candidates must be in possession of a relevant Masters degree (or very close to obtaining it) at the time of appointment.

including funding for short stays at top-class research groups in Germany and the UK, plus regular training events and meetings across Europe.
