[Job-offers-cs] THE IBS BIOMEDICAL MATHEMATICS GROUP SENIOR RESEARCHER POSITIONS AND POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP (DUE. NOV 30TH, 2023)

[Pekka Orponen]

Biomedical Mathematics Group (BIMAG <https://www.ibs.re.kr/bimag>) is a 
research group in the Pioneer Research Center for Mathematical and 
Computational Sciences <https://www.ibs.re.kr/eng/sub02_02_02.do> at the 
Institute for Basic Science (IBS) 
<https://www.ibs.re.kr/eng/sub02_02.do>, which is located in Daejeon, 
South Korea. BIMAG is the place where researchers from various 
backgrounds including mathematics, physics, biology and medicine 
research together to develop mathematical theories and tools and apply 
them to solve various biological and medical problems. The Chief 
Investigator of BIMAG 
<http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~jaekkim/index.html> is Jae Kyoung Kim 
<http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~jaekkim/index.html>, and BIMAG consists of 
three teams.

 1. The intracellular dynamics team aims to develop reduction methods
    for multi-scale systems and apply them to understand molecular
    dynamics underlying enzyme kinetics, pharmacokinetics, cancer
    immunotherapy, and circadian rhythms.
 2. The intercellular dynamics team aims to develop inference methods
    for dynamic cellular networks and apply them to uncover structures
    underlying various biological networks.
 3. The systemic dynamics team aims to develop digital medicine for
    sleep disorders based on health-wearable devices via mathematical
    modeling and machine learning.

In BIMAG, researchers can investigate mathematical theories, collaborate 
with various experimental groups, invite international visitors and 
organize regular international workshops. Currently, BIMAG researchers 
collaborate with >20 experimental labs.

The Senior Researcher positions are available for individuals who have 
research experience for 5 years or more after their Ph. D. The 
appointment is initially for two years and can be extended for three 
more years after reviews of the research performance.

The Postdoctoral Research Associate positions are available for 
individuals within the first five years after obtaining their Ph.D. at 
the date of appointment or expecting to obtain a Ph.D. within three 
months from the appointment date. The appointment is initially for two 
years and can be extended for one more year after reviews of the 
research performance.

All positions do not have any teaching duties. BIMAG offers 
internationally competitive salaries (starting annual salary>KRW 
57,000,000), travel funds, and benefits (medical insurance, travel 
insurance, and retirement funds). Furthermore, IBS has a childcare 
facility, dormitory, and family housing for researchers. The expected 
appointment date is July 1, 2023, but it can be adjusted. Successful 
candidates should have experience in mathematical modeling or data 
analysis of biological systems.

Support Systems for International Researchers

Roughly one-third of all researchers at IBS are from overseas. These 
international researchers have three support options to adapt to life in 
Korea.

 1. IBS supplies a 24/7 service called the Global Help Desk, which
    offers personalized help via email and phone.
 2. IBS has its own support website called "Living in Korea".
 3. We have several staffs who help with work and non-work situations.

For more information on these support options, please see the related 
page on Living in Korea at
