Dear Colleague,
>
> The Center for Systems Biology, University of Iceland (
> www.systemsbiology.is, CSB UoI) is looking to recruit one highly motivated
> PhD student and two highly motivated postdoctoral fellows to join a growing
> effort focusing on systems biology of human metabolism.  The research at the
> CSB UoI focuses on 1) human metabolism and 2) industrial biotechnology.
>  We would appreciate if you could forward this message to appropriate
> candidates in your laboratory.
>
> The CSB UoI aims* to characterize human disease using a systems biology
> approach*. This research effort focuses on 1) expanding the currently
> available human metabolic reconstruction, 2) discovery of new functions and
> pathways in human metabolism using computational and experimental
> techniques, 3) phenotyping of human cell lines using metabolomic techniques,
> 4) computational and experimental analysis of metabolic changes associated
> with disease, and 5) high-throughput drug screening. We use the
> state-of-the-art computational methods to guide and design human cell
> culturing experiments as well as metabolomic measurements. These
> technologies are embedded in a biologically driven research program that
> aims at systematic understanding of human metabolism, disease manifestation
> and drug target identification.

> *PhD Fellowship in systems biology of human metabolism*
>
> The research focuses on: Expansion and refinement of the human metabolic
> reconstruction; identification of missing metabolic genes using
> bioinformatics and modeling tools (gap filling); development of cell type
> specific metabolic models from experimental data and the human metabolic
> reconstruction, databases and literature mining for genomic information,
> computational modeling of human metabolism in health and disease, the
> project will thus include key technologies used in *computational systems
> biology* and *bioinformatics*. more...<http://systemsbiology.is/PhdSysBioHumMet>

> *Postdoctoral Position: Development of computational methods for human
> systems biology*
>
> The successful candidate will be expected to process and employ
> high-throughput data (transcriptomic and metabolomic data) to generate cell-
> and tissue specific models, which will allow simulation of normal and
> disease states. The postholder will develop and improve computational
> methods based on operation research approaches. The project includes the
> interrogation of metabolic networks and translation of quantitative HT data
> as model constraints. Furthermore, the postholder will be involved in other
> projects in the group and at the CSB UoI requiring development of
> computational methods.
>
> The ideal candidate will hold a PhD in Bioinformatics or related field and
> have a strong background in computational modelling, operation research,
> statistical analysis, high-throughput data analysis and biology. All
> projects at the CSB UoI are interdisciplinary; therefore, a strong
> motivation to collaborate with experimental groups is required. Excellent
> programming skills are required. Knowledge of human metabolism and drug
> metabolism is of benefit. Furthermore, the candidate must be fluent in
> English. In addition, the candidate must have excellent communication and
> interpersonal skills and be capable of working within a team of biologists
> and programmers.    more...<http://systemsbiology.hi.is/PostDocMathModHum>
