- OPEN
We have an opening in computational systems biology/signaling network modeling.
This individual will reconstruct and analyze intracellular signaling networks of smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells. These network models will interface with an agent-based model of an atherosclerotic plaque and will be further validated by comparison with experimental measurements on ApoE -/- knockout mice. This work is being done in collaboration with Dr. Shayn Peirce-Cottler and other researchers at the University of Virginia as part of a larger investigation of plaque progression in atherosclerosis.
Location: Charlottesville, VA
Excellent communication skills and a Ph.D. in bioengineering, bioinformatics, chemical engineering, or biochemistry or molecular biology with strong experience in a quantitative field are required. Individuals with computational modeling and experimental systems biology expertise particularly relevant to the current project areas are especially encouraged to apply. The position will remain open until filled. To apply for this postdoctoral position, please send a cover letter specifying the position for which you are applying, CV, brief statement of research accomplishments and career goals, and contact information for three references to Dr. Papin.
