IBS Biomedical Mathematics Group Postdoc
We have several postdoc posotions for IBS Biomedical Matheamtics Group (https://www.ibs.re.kr/bimag/), which consists of intracellular, intercelluar and systematic dynamics teams. Please visist the website for the details.
Samsung STF Postdoc
We have a postdoctoral fellow position for a Samsung STF-funded project: Inference of dynamic networks from timeseries big data in biological systems. We aim develop methods infering the structure of network and time delay distribution in network interactions from timeseries data.
Data analysis experience (e.g. Bayesian inference) is recommended, but not required. For inquiries, please contact Prof. Jae Kyoung Kim via email at jaekkim@kaist.ac.kr. Applications, including a full CV, a cover letter explaining suitability for the position, and the names and addresses of two referees should be sent to Prof. Kim.
BK21 Postdoc positions are available in Dept. of Math, KAIST, every semseter (June or Dec)
http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/home/
Our lab does not hire graduate students directly according to the math department policy. The admission process of the math department is as follows.
Step 1. Getting an admission from Dept of Math, KAIST (written exam + interview)
Step 2. Taking a semster course work.
Step 3. Deciding a reserach advisor after a semester.
For those who have interest in Math Biol Lab, please come to our Journal club seminar, where we study a paper together per week. https://www.ibs.re.kr/bimag/events/category/seminar/journal-club/ For those who have interest in, please let me know.
Each year, one or two undergraduate students have worked in Math Bio lab. Taking at least one of following courses is recommended before asking the independent study or URP study:
Method of Applied Mathematics, Introduction for Mathematical Biology, ODE & Nonlinear Dynamics or any of my class.
You can find the application form in https://www.ibs.re.kr/bimag/job-application/internship/
