Postdoctoral Position in Computational Biology

Department of Physiology, McGill University, Montreal QC Canada

Applications are invited for an NIH-funded postdoctoral position in modeling different aspects of autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D). More specifically, this project will focus on understanding the role of islet-specific autoantibodies in T1D, and designing algorithms to predict disease onset. Candidates are expected to have (or in the process of receiving) a Ph.D. degree in Mathematical and Computational Biology (or related field); have a high degree of academic excellence as demonstrated by a good record of publications; and possess expertise in nonlinear dynamics, MATLAB programming and the use of numerous numerical techniques for solving integro-differential equations. Having some background in immunology will be considered an asset. This work will be conducted in close collaboration with experimental laboratory at the University of Michigan. The initial appointment will be for one year with an option for further extension.

Department of Physiology at McGill University, located in the beautiful city of Montreal, has a large and productive theoretical group. It has an outstanding reputation for fostering experimental collaborations and conducting interdisciplinary research in both experimental and theoretical physiology/biology. Interested candidates with the required qualifications are encouraged to apply. To be considered for the position, please send your CV, your list of publications and two reference letters to Anmar Khadra (Email: anmar [dot] khadra [at] mcgill [dot] ca) by November 7.
