Maybe someone is interested in the information.
An innovative and outstanding young scientist training program is
available at INRA (http://www.international.inra.fr/). The studentship
will be founded for 5 years at once. The first three years will be
devoted to a PhD training which is supported by three French
laboratories: Team BANG (contact: dirk.drasdo at inria.fr) at INRIA, Unit
MIA (Computer Science and Applied Mathematics – contact:
Juhui.Wang at jouy.inra.fr) and Unit BDR (Developmental Biology and
Reproduction – contact: Isabelle.Hue at jouy.inra.fr) at INRA. The last two
years will be devoted to a post-doc training at foreign laboratories
outside France.
The successful candidate will be expected to work on a funded project
developing a computational model of the bovine trophoblast morphogenesis
which is capable of explaining the growth and pattern formation observed
in the developmental processes. The simulation method will combine
individual-cell-based models (for further information on this model
type: http://ms.izbi.uni-leipzig.de/) with continuum equations for the
intracellular regulation to investigate the effects of chemical
substance production, transport and consumption on the properties of the
cells and the shape of the developing embryo. Image processing is used
to analyze the experimentally found development scenario. Basic
optimization techniques will be used to identify the most likely out of
the possible models and estimate the model parameters, and sensitivity
analysis will be considered to analyze the model behavior.
The new fellow will also play an integral role in ongoing collaborations
with leading scientists on embryonic development and biomedical
engineering/computational tissue modeling.
Applicants should have a master degree relevant to mathematical,
physical, or biomedical modeling. The applicant must be highly
motivated. Technical skills in basic applied mathematics and programming
(C/C++, if possible: OpenGL) are necessary. The base salary is about
2000 Euros per month for the PhD training period and 2500 Euros per
month for the Post-doc training period. Further information including
the research context may be obtained from the persons mentioned at the
first paragraph. APPLICATIONS WILL PROBABLY CLOSE BEFORE THE END OF MAY.
To apply, Please take contact with us immediately. The application might
be highly competing.
