COMPUTATIONAL CELL BIOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE
TWO POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATE POSITIONS AT THE
COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY IN WILLIAMSBURG, VIRGINIA
Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions in
mathematical/computational cell biology and neuroscience to work with Prof.
Gregory D. Smith in the Dept of Applied Science at the College of William and
Mary (http://www.as.wm.edu/Faculty/Smith.html).
Evidence of potential for quality research in neural computational modeling at
the cellular or systems level is essential. Working knowledge of XPP, C,
LATEX, MATLAB and the UNIX operating system are desired.
Computational Neuroscience Position:
The successful applicant will be funded by NSF Division of Integrative Biology
and Neuroscience to use a computational approach to investigate the function
of visually-responsive inhibitory neurons located in the lateral geniculate
nucleus and have opportunity to collaborate with with experimental visual
neuroscientist S. Murray Sherman (SUNY, Stony Brook) and/or theorist John
Rinzel (New York University).
Computational Cell Biology Position:
The successful applicant will be funded by NSF Division of Molecular and
Cellular Biosciences to investigate the dynamics of calcium release at
IP3-sensitive calcium release sites. Our focus is the emergence of
cooperative IP3 receptor activity (i.e., calcium "puffs") in
reaction-diffusion simulations that account for the stochastic gating of IP3
receptors, current knowledge of IP3 diversity, and the buffered diffusion of
intracellular calcium.
To apply for either position, send a full curriculum vitae (including a list
of publications and professional experience) and two letters of recommendation
to:
Gregory D. Smith
Department of Applied Science
College of William and Mary
McGlothlin-Street Hall, Rm 305
Williamsburg, VA 23187
