Postdoctoral fellowships: modelling in infection and immunity
UNSW
The Complex Systems in Biology Group
Closing date: 16th August 2013The Complex Systems in Biology Group at the University of New South Wales is looking for talented post-docs with a background in mathematics, physics, computer science, or other quantitative discipline to join their team in Sydney, Australia investigating immunity and vaccination for chronic infectious disease. The group is an interdisciplinary team including immunologists, applied mathematicians, physicists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists. The team collaborates with a number of experimental groups to study and model immune responses in humans and animals. Our studies span from molecular studies of viral mutation and recombination in HIV through to population dynamics of malaria infection. The group has a high publication output and a strong history in successful interdisciplinary training. It is an ideal venue for scientists considering a career change from mathematics / physics or other disciplines to work in quantitative biology.
The University of New South Wales offers a number of Vice-Chancellor’s fellowships to support post-doctoral students within 5 years of their PhD. These fellowships are funded at $71,000 – $85,000 p.a. (plus 17% superannuation) for up to three years.
The Human Frontiers in Science Program also offers post-doctoral fellowships or interdisciplinary fellowships for suitable applicants from member countries (see http://www.hfsp.org/funding/postdoctoral-fellowships/guidelines)
This position is ideally suited to someone with a PhD and strong publication record in their field wishing to commence or continue to develop a career in quantitative biology.
