Pre-doctoral positions available,
Institute of Applied and Computational Mathematics
Foundation for Research and Technlology - Hellas
Crete, Greece

As part of the Marie Curie Research Training Network, "Modeling, Mathematical Methods and Computer Simulation of Tumour Growth and Therapy" the Institute for Applied and Computational Mathematics at the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas, is inviting applications for research positions, at the pre-doctoral level.

The project will involve close collaboration with experimental researchers and will be examining aspects of cellular migration and chemotaxis, esp. in relation to tumor biology. The project aims at developing state-of-the-art computational tools for cell biology.

The terms of the position(s) are:

• 6 - 17 month full-time, early stage research position (approx 26.500EU/yr + mobility and travel allowances)

  Successfull candidates should have a degree in mathematics, applied mathematics, engineering, physics, computer science or related discipline. A knowledge of PDEs and numerical solution of PDEs is desired. Knowledge of cell biology will be also an advantage.

  Eligibility: Early State Researchers must not have more than 4 years of research experience (full-time equivalent) since gaining a university diploma giving them access to doctoral studies. Time spent in compulsory military service or maternity leave are exempt.
