<p>Biomedical Mathematics Group (<a href="https://www.ibs.re.kr/bimag" title="Unmangled Microsoft
Safelink">BIMAG</a>) is a research group in the <a href="https://www.ibs.re.kr/eng/sub02_02_02.do" title="Unmangled
Microsoft Safelink">Pioneer Research Center for Mathematical and
Computational Sciences</a> at the<span> </span><a href="https://www.ibs.re.kr/eng/sub02_02.do" title="Unmangled
Microsoft Safelink">Institute for Basic Science (IBS)</a>,
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<span> </span><a href="http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~jaekkim/index.html" title="Unmangled Microsoft Safelink">BIMAG</a><span> </span>is<span> </span><a href="http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/~jaekkim/index.html" title="Unmangled Microsoft Safelink">Jae Kyoung Kim</a>, and
BIMAG consists of three teams.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>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.</li>
<li>The intercellular dynamics team aims to develop inference
methods for dynamic cellular networks and apply them to uncover
structures underlying various biological networks. </li>
<li>The systemic dynamics team aims to develop digital medicine
for sleep disorders based on health-wearable devices via
mathematical modeling and machine learning. </li>
</ol>
<p>In BIMAG, researchers can investigate mathematical theories,
collaborate with various experimental groups, invite international
visitors and organize regular international workshops. Currently,
BIMAG researchers are collaborating >20 experimental labs.</p>
<p>The Senior Researcher positions are available for individuals
with 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 performed.</p>
<p>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 performed.</p>
<p>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 March 1, 2023, but
it can be adjusted. Successful candidates should have experience
in mathematical modeling or data analysis of biological systems.</p>
<p>A complete application packet should include:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>Curriculum vitae including a list of publications and
preprints (PDF format)</li>
<li>Research statement (PDF format)</li>
<li>Consent to Collection and Use of Personal Information (<a href="https://www.ibs.re.kr/bimag/cms/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Consent-to-Collection-and-Use-of-Personal-Information_new.pdf" title="Unmangled Microsoft Safelink">PDF file</a>)</li>
<li>At least 1 recommendation letters (3 letters are recommended)</li>
</ol>
<p>For full consideration, applicants should email items 1, 2, and 3
and arrange their recommendation letters emailed to<span> </span><a href="mailto:bimag@ibs.re.kr" title="mailto:bimag@ibs.re.kr" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">bimag@ibs.re.kr</a><span> </span>by<span> </span><strong>Feb
6, 2023.</strong><span> </span>Recommendation letters forwarded
by an applicant will not be considered.</p>
<p>BIMAG encourages applications from individuals of diverse
backgrounds.</p>
<p><strong>Support Systems for International Researchers</strong></p>
<p>Roughly one-third of all researchers at IBS are from overseas.
These international researchers have three support options to
adapt to life in Korea.</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>IBS supplies a 24/7 service called the Global Help Desk, which
offers personalized help via email and phone.</li>
<li>IBS has its own support website called "Living in Korea".</li>
<li>We have several staffs who help with work and non-work
situations.</li>
</ol>
<p>For more information on these support options, please see the
related page on Living in Korea at <a href="https://centers.ibs.re.kr/html/living_en/overview/support.html" title="Unmangled Microsoft Safelink">centers.ibs.re.kr/html/living_en/overview/support.html</a></p>
