[SocBiN] post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical/Computational Systems Biology at Örebro University, 2-3 years, deadline for application: Sept 1

[Dirk Repsilber]

Dear Bioinformaticians,

we are seeking a *post-doctoral researcher in Mathematical/Computational 
Systems Biology* at Örebro University, 2-3 years, *deadline for 
application: Sept 1*.

Please find the details of the position here inline below.

Sincere greetings from Örebro!

Dirk



	

	
Subject: 	*Postdoctoral researcher in Mathematical/Computational Systems 
Biology (Oerebro, Sweden, 2-3 years)*
Text: 	The postdoctoral researcher will build and investigate 
mathematical and mechanistic models of inflammatory processes on various 
scales, based on dynamical data produced from in vitro models and 
connected to large-scale clinical data and OMICs data. The project is 
transdisciplinary and includes business partners in the Life 
Science/Pharmaceutical industry. This project is hosted by the 
Inflammatory Response and Infection Susceptibility Center (iRiSC) at 
Örebro University, which, together with the Functional Bioinformatics 
group, will be the main affiliation for the position. Örebro University 
is one of the most expansive universities in Sweden, and was most 
recently placed as number 75 when Times Higher Education ranked the 
young universities in the world, and as number 30 when looking at the 
citation rate per se. Inflammation constitutes a critical component of 
many common diseases, such as cancer, mental illness, autoimmune 
disease, metabolic diseases, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. 
Current research reveals a profound lack of a mechanistic understanding 
of different forms of inflammation, and how these constitute specific or 
general interactions with common diseases. The current position is part 
of a larger project (X-HiDE) aimed at using a systems biology approach 
to investigate inflammatory mechanisms. More information can be found at 
www.oru.se/X-HiDE More information about Örebro University can be found 
at www.oru.se/english The current position constitutes a vital part in 
establishing a new attractive platform for systems biology, which offers 
some unique possibilities for the postdoc. The project X-HiDE has 
already secured long-term and substantial funding - intended to found a 
Center of Excellence for research in inflammatory mechanisms. The 
building of a new systems biology group within X-HiDE also involves new 
senior staff, and such more senior positions will open up in the future; 
making X-HiDE an attractive place for a long-term career in the field of 
mathematical and mechanistic modelling. Most important, X-HiDE has an 
attractive network of collaboration partners with existing systems 
biology environments, involving academic partners located at, e.g. 
Linköping University, Sweden, and at Rostock University, Germany, but 
also major industrial partners, e.g. AstraZeneca in Gothenburg and 
Wolfram MathCore in Linköping. As part of the project, the position 
offers the possibility and is encouraged to spend shorter or longer 
times at any of these sites. The position is a full-time position for a 
fixed term of two years, with the possibility of applying for an 
additional third year. The salary depends on the successful candidate’s 
qualifications and experience. For more information, please contact 
Prof. Dirk Repsilber, +46-19-30 1256, Dirk.Repsilber at oru.se, Dr. Robert 
Kruse, Robert.Kruse at oru.se, or Prof. Eva Särndahl, Eva.Sarndahl at oru.se.
