Centre for Genomic Regulation offers Postdoctoral Position in the field of theoretical/computational biophysics in Spain

Study Subject(s): Theoretical/Computational Biophysics
Course Level: Postdoctoral
Scholarship Provider: Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG)
Scholarship can be taken at: Spain

The successful applicant will have significant experience in computational approaches including simulations, and ability to carry out conversations in English, as well as an interest in working collaboratively with experimentalists.

We seek a motivated, independent individual to use a modeling/simulation approach to develop computational models of mitotic spindle elongation. The modeling effort will be closely integrated with ongoing experiments, in both simple eukaryotic cells (budding yeast), and later on for more complex animal cells. The goal is for modeling to help interpret experiments, and in turn, for experiments to constrain and guide the modeling. Our initial goal is to develop models of spindle elongation that incorporate the elastic properties of mitotic chromosomes, to better understand the relationship between spindle elongation and chromosome segregation. The work will be carried out primarily at the CRG in Barcelona, in the laboratory of Dr. Manuel Mendoza, but will also involve collaboration with Dr. Steven Gross (UC Irvine).
