Postdoc position at INRIA, France - Modeling brain tumor

Dear all, We have an open postdoctoral position for a modeling scientist. The mission is to develop new predictive models for low-grade glioma, a brain tumor characterized by a slow evolution and prolonged response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Based on a previously developed model (Ribba et al. Clinical Cancer Reserch 2012), the objectives of the project are: - to evaluate the relevance of using tumor volume information versus mean diameter - to couple the dynamical model of tumor size to overall survival The work will be performed in collaboration with the department of neurological surgery at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and is in the framework of the DDMoRe project (www.ddmore.eu). The position is located in Grenoble, France at INRIA ( http://www.inria.fr/en) for a duration of 18 months. INRIA is dedicated to fundamental and applied research in information and communication science and technology. By playing a leading role in the scientific community in the field and being in close contact with industry, INRIA is a major participant in the development of ICST in France. Do not hesitate to contact me for further information and details. Kind regards, Benjamin
