post-doctoral position in systems biology is offered jointly by
the "Biological Physics and Systems Biology" team (O. Radulescu)
at the DIMNP CNRS 5235 / University of Montpellier 2 and the
"Signaling, Invasion and Cancer" team (P. Coopman) at the
Montpellier Cancer Research Institute (IRCM, INSERM U896/
University of Montpellier 1), in the South of France, starting
at earliest on October 1st, 2014. <br>
The post-doctoral fellow will have a PhD. degree in
computational systems biology, in computer science, or applied
mathematics. Knowledge on cell biology, signaling, logical
and/or differential equations modeling will be a benefit. He/she
will be involved in data processing, dynamical modeling of
signaling networks, large scale formal model reconstruction and
analysis. The computational challenge of the project will be to
create predictive models of complex signaling crosstalk based on
the signaling networks identified using quantitative
(phospho)proteomics as well as biochemical and <i
style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal">in cellulo/in vivo</i>
experimental models. The methodology developed will be used to
process a large body of data on signaling via the anti-oncogenic
Syk kinase and PTPL1 phosphatase in breast cancer and to
elucidate the mechanisms by which these proteins inhibit tumor
development and malignant progression. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">Montpellier is
offering a unique environment for interdisciplinary and biomedical
research, with excellent laboratories and technical facilities
working in a tight collaboration and within a close geographical
perimeter. The city is ideally situated between the Mediterranean
sea and the magnificent landscapes of the Cevennes mountains. <br>
