Research Positions in Systems Biology

(PhD and/or post-doctoral)

University of Rostock, Germany

As part of a EU FP6 funded project in systems biology the research will 
focus on using nonlinear differential equations to model "signal 
transduction pathways". Several major diseases are linked to a failure 
of cell communication at the molecular level.

The project is to consider the identification of dynamic pathway models 
from experimental data and to use control theory to investigate the role 
of feedback mechanisms on the behavior of intra- and inter-cellular 
networks.

The salary scale is BAT-IIa-O or BAT-Ib-O, depending on age, family 
status and experience. BAT is the regular salary scale for employees at 
German Universities. An estimate for a salary should be EUR 1500-2300 
NET (after taxes, insurance etc.). The appointments will be for three years.

The University of Rostock was founded in 1419 and is one of the oldest 
in Northern Europe. The chair systems biology and bioinformatics was 
established in 2003 and focusses on mathematical modelling and data 
analysis with applications to molecular- and cell biology. Rostock is an 
old Hanse town in the region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, at the baltic 
coast close to Sweden.
