Job Opportunities

We are seeking highly motivated and talented postdoctoral fellows in computational and mathematical biology to work in our group at the UCLA Cardiovascular Laboratories in the following research areas: 1) intracellular calcium cycling dynamics and cardiac arrhythmias; 2) dynamics of cardiac metabolism. Using a systems approach combining mathematical modeling with biological experiments, our goals are to develop computational models to elucidate underlying dynamical mechanisms of biological (experimental) phenomena, and to generate hypotheses and predictions that can be validated experimentally.

The qualified candidates must have a PhD in physics, mathematics, or a related field and demonstrate an outstanding academic record including publications. Preference will be given to candidates with a strong background in nonlinear dynamics. Starting date can be as early as July 1st, 2009. Salary level is dependent on experience.

Interested candidates are encouraged to send their Curriculum Vitae, names of three references as soon as possible via email to:
