POSTDOC POSITION AT UNIVERSITY OF AARHUS JANUARY 2011

Postdoc at the Bioinformatics Research Centre

University Of Aarhus
A postdoc position is available immediately or from as soon as possible.



The ideal candidate has a background in mathematical biology with knowledge of probability theory and some statistics. Knowledge about population genetics and biology is good, but not essential.


The work to be done relates to probabilistic modeling of tumor cells using birth?death processes and some techniques/concepts from population genetics. The basic idea is to describe how a population of tumor cells grows and accumulates genomic changes over time. For this birth?death processes and Markov Chains are used. The work involves mathematical derivation of equations and properties, development of statistical tools for analysis of real data (such as MCMC, ABC, or Importance Sampling methods), and implementation of simulation and analysis tools. The data to be analyzed consists of DNA sequences and other genomic data from real tumors.

It might be possible to extend the position for another year depending on funding and the success of the work.

For further information contact Carsten Wiuf, carsten.wiuf@gmail.com or visit my home page http://www.birc.au.dk/~wiuf. The theory and modeling developed in Refs 30 and 34 on my home page have direct relationship to the work to be done. To apply, send me your CV and publication list and a few words about your previous experiences and expectations.
