Subject: Senior/Junior Positions in Computational Biosciences at DCRT, NIH
The Division of Computer Research and Technology (DCRT), Office of
Computational Bioscience, (OCB) is seeking to expand its research program in
Computational Biosciences. We seek both a senior level research scientist
(roughly equivalent to the associate to full professor level) and a junior
level research scientist (Postdoctoral Fellow to Assistant Professor) to
assist in this effort.
Major Duties and responsibilities: At the senior level the selectee will
conduct original research in the application of computational methods to
current problems in biology and medicine, utilizing new and novel algorithms
and a wide variety of computing platforms (as appropriate) ranging from
personal workstations to massively parallel supercomputers, to address
significant problems in computational biosciences (e.g. one or more of the
following; rational, structure-based drug design, quantum chemistry,
computational molecular biology, clinical and laboratory 3-D image
processing, linkage analysis, and/or other computationally challenging
problems). Selectee will conduct an independent research program,
collaborate with computer scientists, engineers, biophysicists, biologists
and biochemists from DCRT and throughout the National Institutes of Health,
and contribute to the support of related computing resources. At the lower
level, the selectee will assist in these efforts.
Qualifications Required: Doctoral degree in computational molecular biology,
computer science, computational chemistry, biomedical engineering, or related
field; Ability to collaborate effectively with others as peers in a
multidisciplinary environment. At the senior level the selectee must also
have several years of independent research experience in areas specifically
related to those identified above and demonstrated ability to provide
intellectual leadership to the field.
Starting salary range for a senior researcher is between $51,557 and $111,839
based upon training and relevant experience. The starting salary range for a
junior researcher is $29,898 to $43,356. This position may lead to career
tenure. Applicants should send curriculum vitae, bibliography, and statement
of experience and research plans to:
Computational Biosciences Initiative
DCRT Human Resources Management Office
Building 12A Room 3013
12 South Drive MSC 5644

Subject: Research Associate and Postdoctoral Fellowships in Heart Modeling
UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY BALTIMORE
3D BIOMODELING OF THE HEART
Industry funded RESEARCH ASSOCIATE and POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIPS are being set
up to join teams of D. Noble (Oxford) and R. Winslow (Johns Hopkins) in 3D
modeling of electrical and mechanical properties of the heart. Ph.D. and
strong background in programming (ideally on parallel architecture computers)
required; basic knowledge in cardiac physiology of advantage. The work will
involve medium-term working visits to the overseas partner lab. Salary
commensurate with background and experience. Please send c.v. and names of
three referees to either Denis Noble, University Lab of Physiology, Parks
Road, Oxford OX1 3PT, UK, or Raimond L. Winslow, Dept Biomed Engineering, The
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, 720 Rutland Ave, Baltimore MD
