Positions Available

Post-Doctoral Fellowship

Post-Doctoral position available at the Environmental Bioinformatics and Computational Toxicology Center (ebCTC). ebCTC is a research consortium of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of NJ - Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, Princeton University, Rutgers University, and USFDA's Center for Toxicoinformatics. (For more information see http://ebctc.org.)

The candidate will work directly with ebCTC investigators in problems of multiscale computational biology involving molecular, cellular, and physiological systems. Research tasks include the development and evaluation of process modeling and bioinformatics methods for applications to toxicological and environmental health risk analysis . Experience with software tools such as Matlab, R, BioConductor, ArrayTrack, Ingenuity Pathway Analysis, etc. is useful.

Experience in the molecular modeling of ligand-receptor interactions; the analysis of regulatory and developmental bionetworks; the pathway interpretation of genomic, proteomic and metabolomic data; physiologically-based pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic modeling; and in related areas will be considered a plus.

This Post-Doctoral Fellowship is for two years and carries an annual stipend of $42-46 K depending on experience and qualifications. Please send your CV and an introduction letter to Prof. Panos Georgopoulos and CC to Linda Everett.

Graduate Research Assistants and
Part-Time Undergraduate Assistants

Graduate Research Assistantships are available at CCL to support work towards a graduate degree in Environmental Sciences, Chemical and Biochemical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field, with focus on the effects of human activities and environmental conditions (diet; chemical, biological, and radiological contamination; etc.) on human health. Research involves development and application of mathematical/computer models for environmental and biological systems and of their multiscale interactions (from genome to organism to population), as well as work on enviroinformatics and bioinformatics methods and tools. The assistantships include an annual stipend starting at $26,000 plus tuition.

Part time Undergraduate Assistantships and Internships are available at CCL. Work involves providing technical support to CCL researchers. Assistants/interns are trained in the use of state-of-the-art computational tools for process modeling, and for data management and analysis.

For additional information please contact Prof. Panos G. Georgopoulos.
