Research areas: mathematical modeling, state-based and agent-based modeling, game theory, etc.

In the research group Applied Systems Biology, a position for a doctoral researcher becomes available. The position is associated with aspects of the image-based systems biology approach. This modern computational approach comprises the automated analysis of microscopy and/or spectroscopy data based on state-of-the-art methods from machine learning as well as the computer simulation of mathematical models using advanced modeling approaches. We are seeking highly motivated candidates that are interested to work on mathematical modeling and computer simulations in experiment-driven interdisciplinary studies.

Candidate’s profile:

  • Doctoral degree in physics, computer science, bioinformatics, or a related discipline
  • Strong interest in biological systems; an educational background in biology is preferred
  • Experience in mathematical modeling and computer simulations
  • Very good programming skills, preferably in C / C++ and/or Python
  • Ability to perform team-oriented as well as independent work
  • Good communication skills in English are a must
