Dear Colleagues,

The workshop 'Frontiers in Mathematical Biology: Young Investigator
Conference' will be held at the Center for Scientific Computation and
Mathematical Modeling (CSCAMM) at the University of Maryland, College
Park, February 29 - March 2, 2012. A detailed announcement along with
other relevant information on the workshop will be continuously updated
at http://www2.cscamm.umd.edu/programs/fmb12/.

This workshop primarily targets advanced graduate students, postdocs, and
researchers at an early stage of their career. It is a follow-up meeting
to the 'Frontiers in Mathematical Biology: NSF-NIH PIs Meeting 2010'.  

Researchers that are interested in attending the meeting must apply online
no later than the deadline of *** January 20, 2012 *** through the workshop
website.

Please encourage your students, postdocs, and junior colleagues to apply
as soon as possible as space is limited.  In particular, we would like
to encourage women and scientists from underrepresented minorities to
apply. Partial financial support will be provided to confirmed participants.

We look forward to seeing you in CSCAMM.
Sincerely,
Pierre-Emmanuel Jabin & Doron Levy

Subject: Okinawa Computational Neuroscience Course 2012: Applications Open

OKINAWA COMPUTATIONAL NEUROSCIENCE COURSE 2012
Methods, Neurons, Networks and Behaviors
June 11 - June 29, 2012. Okinawa, Japan
http://www.irp.oist.jp/ocnc/2012

The aim of the Okinawa Computational Neuroscience Course is to provide
opportunities for young researchers with theoretical backgrounds to learn the
latest advances in neuroscience, and for those with experimental backgrounds
to have hands-on experience in computational modeling.

We invite graduate students and postgraduate researchers to participate in the
course, held from June 11th through June 29th, 2012 at an oceanfront seminar
house of the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology.  Applications
are through the course web page only; they will open January 9th and close
February 12th, 2012. Applicants are required to propose a project at the time
of application. Applicants will receive confirmation of acceptance in March.

Like in preceding years, OCNC will be a comprehensive three-week course
covering single neurons, networks, and behaviors with ample time for student
projects. The first week will focus exclusively on methods with hands-on
tutorials during the afternoons, while the second and third weeks will have
lectures by international experts. Students receive individualized tutoring
for their projects. We invite those who are interested in integrating
experimental and computational approaches at each level, as well as in
bridging different levels of complexity.

The sponsor will provide lodging and meals during the course and support
travel for those without funding. We hope that this course will be a good
opportunity for theoretical and experimental neuroscientists to meet each
other and to explore the attractive nature and culture of Okinawa, the
southernmost island prefecture of Japan.

The Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctoral Program "NeuroTime - Neural Processing on
Time" is inviting applications for fully funded 4-year joint PhD studentships
between 6 Universities (Strasbourg, Freiburg i. Br., Amsterdam, Basel,
Bangalore and Jerusalem) and 2 Associated Partners (IHD and Neurex),
coordinated by the University of Strasbourg. in the field of Neurobiology.

The objective of NeuroTime is to provide PhD students with a top quality
international training program in multidisplinary neuroscience that will
contribute through the creation of a 'European Higher Education Area' in
investigating a process lying at the heart of brain function & dysfunction:
processing of time.

The training provided by our program integrates developmental, molecular,
cellular & behavioral neuroscience, chronobiology, computational neuroscience
& neurotechnology.

The projects are collaborative and typically involve two of the six above
institutes and will require some travel.

Students should have a solid background in biology, especially neuroscience
(on a master level or equivalent). An excellent academic record, documented
interest in research and fluency in English are required.

Multi-scale Modeling in Immunology

A postdoctoral position is available jointly in the laboratories of Jennifer
Linderman in the Departments of Chemical Engineering and Biomedical
Engineering and Denise Kirschner in the Department of Microbiology and
Immunology, both at the University of Michigan. The project is part
of grants to use systems biology approaches to build multi-scale and
multi-organ approaches to understand the immune response to tuberculosis
and involves integrating data derived by our collaborators together with
in silico models developed in our groups. An estimated one-third of the
human population is infected with the pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis,
making it a global health problem.

The post-doctoral fellow will concentrate on projects that require
skills in computational modeling in biology. Thus the ideal applicant
will have extensive experience in modeling and some programming needed
for working with our existing agent-based models, and, in addition, will
have an ability to read scientific literature in immunology, microbiology
and systems biology. Good communication skills - both written and oral -
are essential. Pay is determined by the standard NIH post-doc pay scale,
which is commensurate with education and experience.

Applicants should send a CV, names and email addresses of 3 references, and
a letter describing research interests and summarizing PhD work to Denise
Kirschner kirschne@umich.edu and Jennifer Linderman linderma@umich.edu. Copies
of accepted or published papers are welcome.

Salary: £35,511 to £38,569 per annum inclusive
Closing Date: Thursday 19 January 2012
Interview Date: Wednesday 25 January 2012
Reference: RW10

The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, an internationally
renowned centre for research and postgraduate education in public health
and tropical medicine, is seeking to recruit an enthusiastic Research
Fellow to work on modelling M tuberculosis transmission and control in
Africa as part of the CREATE consortium to design novel public health
interventions to reduce the burden of HIV-related TB at the population level
(http://www.tbhiv-create.org/).  Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading
causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, particularly in Africa, where the
HIV epidemic has contributed to substantial increases in the burden of TB. 

The aim of the research is to understand the effect of a novel strategy of
community-wide preventive treatment on control of tuberculosis in settings of
high incidence. This will involve developing and parameterising mathematical
models, using international data collected as part of major ongoing empirical
studies under the CREATE consortium and funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates
foundation. CREATE collaborators include the Aurum Institute for Health
Research and the Desmond Tutu Centre, South Africa, the Municipal Health
Secretariat of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the Zambart Project, Zambia and WHO,
Geneva. The post involves a range of complex and original scientific work
and requires a high degree of personal initiative. The post-holder will be
based in a dynamic, supportive and stimulating group at LSHTM with close
links to colleagues at HPA and collaborators in Africa.

The initial appointment will be for a minimum of 12 months to the end of
April 2013 with possible extension to March 2014. Starting salary will be
in the range of £35,511 - £38,569 per annum inclusive.
Applications should be made on-line via the website jobs.lshtm.ac.uk. The
