Dear all,

It is our pleasure to announce the 3rd "Systems Approaches in Immunology"
Meeting, which will take place in Santa Fe, NM on January 10-11 in 2014.

Our website is now open for registration and abstract submission. We hope you
will consider registering early. Please spread the word about this meeting
- it is always a pleasure to meet new people working in multi-disciplinary
and systems approaches to problems at the boundary of experimental and
computational immunology and infectious diseases.

Approaches in Immunology and Infectious Diseases" and we are looking
forward to a great meeting. Confirmed speakers include: Rob de Boer,
Utrecht University; Arup Chakraborty, MIT; Damien Chaussabel, Benaroya
Research Institute; Garnett Kelsoe, Duke University; Denise Kirschner,
University of Michigan; Matthew Krummel, UC San Francisco; Joshua Schiffer,
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center; Mark Schlomchink, University of
Pittsburgh; and John Tsang, NIH.

Subject: Postdoctoral Position in Mathematical Biology at Duke University

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position in mathematical biology.
Candidates should have completed a doctorate before August 1, 2014 and
show definite promise in research and teaching. The teaching load will
be one course each semester, so that the appointee will have ample time
for research. The appointment is for two years, beginning on August 1,
2014. The appointment may be renewed for a third year. Duke University
seeks to build a diverse faculty: women and under-represented minorities
are encouraged to apply.

The position will be funded in part by NSF, and the successful candidate
will be expected to collaborate with Prof. Anita Layton on problems that
include: numerical methods for fluid structure interaction problems, fluid
motion driven by peristalsis, and mathematical models of water and solute
transport in the kidney.

Applicants are asked to submit (a) an AMS standard coversheet; (b) a vita;
(c) a description of current and past research (1-3 pages); (d) a research
statement, and have at least four letters of recommendation, including
one that evaluates teaching. Applicants are encouraged to submit materials
electronically at www.mathjobs.org/jobs/duke/. Alternatively, application
materials may be mailed to Prof. Anita Layton, Department of Mathematics,
Duke University Box 90320, Durham, NC 27708-0320, USA.

http://biofrontiers.colorado.edu/facultyhire

The BioFrontiers Institute at the University of Colorado in Boulder is
looking for its next interdisciplinary faculty member.

We invite applications from candidates seeking to develop an internationally
recognized research program in regenerative medicine addressing significant
problems in areas related to stem cell research, biomaterials, tissue
engineering, drug delivery, optical imaging, cellular biomechanics, or
platform development for translational medicine.

BioFrontiers integrates faculty from nine departments. While a successful
candidate could be rostered in any of these departments, the current search
is particularly aimed at recruiting candidates with backgrounds and interests
aligned with engineering disciplines.

The position is at the Assistant Professor level, although senior candidates
at Associate and Full Professor ranks will also be considered. Candidates
must have a Ph.D. and a demonstrated commitment to teaching at under­graduate
and graduate levels.

Address your letter of application to Prof. Kristi Anseth, and review of
applications will begin on November 18, 2013, and will continue until the
position is filled. The University of Colorado is committed to diversity
