Jobs
Applications are sought for the position of post-doctoral research fellow to work on an exciting inter-disciplinary research project concerning the modeling of Cancer progression and development. We seek a talented individual with a PhD and background in applied mathematics, physics or a computational discipline to work in the unique research environment of the Integrated Mathematical Oncology (IMO) division. The division combines mathematicians, computer scientists, and imaging specialists as well as clinical and experimental oncologists focussed on developing novel approaches for the treatment and understanding of cancer.
The successful candidate will have experience in modeling biological systems, with a preference for medical applications using a variety of modeling techniques. As well as demonstrated creativity, high motivation, good communication skills and importantly, experience in developing/writing publications in peer reviewed high impact scientific journals. They should possess the ability to work independently and within the research group. A good understanding of biology and the desire to work closely with experimentalists and clinicians is also necessary. Preference will be given to candidates with the ability to program (C/C++/Java/Matlab), visualise and analyse numerical/experimental data.
The IMO is housed within the H. Lee Moffitt Comprehensive Cancer Center which is a modern facility on the University of South Florida Campus that conducts research on various aspects of Cancer Biology with emphasis on translational research. Research environment includes state of the art modern core facilities and access to experimental and clinical data.

Applications are invited for the position of post-doctoral researcher in the Integrated Mathematical Oncology (IMO) group.
We are seeking a highly motivated person interested in applying mathematical modeling and computer simulations to study various aspects of tumor initiation, progression and treatment. The appointed candidate will work with Dr. Kasia Rejniak (http://www.rejniak.net) on one of the following projects involving model development and its integration with experimental and/or clinical data:
- bio-mechanics of normal vs. tumor-like tissue morphogenesis
- micro-fluids in drug delivery
- bio-physics of tumor microenvironment
The ideal candidate should have a strong background in computational fluid dynamics and experience in computer programming and visualization. As well as good communucation skills and enthusiasm for working in an interdisciplinary team. The working knowledge of one of the following methods: immersed boundary, immersed interface or regularized Stokeslets, will be as asset.
The Integrated Mathematical Oncology group is a team of researchers, including mathematicians, computer scientists, imaging specialists, clinical and experimental oncologists, that are interested in developing novel translational approaches to the prevention and cure of cancer.
This position is available immedietly and will be open until filled.
