Description

The Process Systems Engineering Group at the Chemical Engineering Department and the Molecular Systems Biology Group at the Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (The University of Coimbra) are actively seeking a post-doctoral candidate to apply for an FCT-Portugal fellowship. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. diploma in engineering, physics or applied mathematics and have a keen interest on biological systems. Previous working experience in the analysis of biochemical networks and post-doctoral activities in computational biology are strong preferential conditions.
The successful applicant will contribute to a theoretic/computational analysis of the structure of metabolic networks in relation to organism physiology [see Alves, Antunes & Salvador (2006) Nature Biotechnol. 24:667-672; Salvador & Savageau (2006) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 103:2226-2231; Salvador & Savageau (2003) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 100:14463-14468]. The research activities will be conducted in collaboration with the systems group at the Chemical Engineering Department of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
The fellowship is yearly renewable for up to three years, with a salary of about 18000 Euro/year (after taxes).
