From: Joel Tarning Date: August 01, 2013 job Source: mail-archive.com
On Behalf Of Michael Hochberg Postdoctoral research opportunity - "Evolutionary models of cancer progression and therapies" - University of Montpellier, France We are looking for a motivated Postdoctoral researcher to employ mathematical and/or computer models to better understand the evolutionary dynamics of cancer progression and chemotherapeutic treatments. We are especially interested in applications of ecology, evolution, and population genetics towards more general descriptions and ultimately predictive theories. The Postdoc is for two years, with a starting date on or before January 1st, 2014. The contract is funded by INSERM "Plan Cancer" and is in collaboration with two cell biology research laboratories (Pr. Urszula Hibner and Pr. Daniel Fisher, IGMM). Selection criteria: (1) PhD; (2) Considerable experience in mathematical or computer modeling in the context of cell biology, population ecology and/or evolutionary biology; (3) Command of written scientific English; (4) Demonstrated track record of refereed publications in leading journals; (5) Demonstrated capacity to work under limited supervision. Interested candidates should send (1) a letter of motivation, (2) a CV, and (3) the names, institutional addresses, and emails of 3 persons who can be contacted for references, on or before August 15th, 2013 to Michael Hochberg ([email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>).
