Phd Position in Theoretical and Computational

Vor 2 Tagen


Basel, Schweiz Universität Basel Vollzeit

A PhD position is available in the group of Prof. Erik van Nimwegen at the Biozentrum of the University of Basel and Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics in theoretical and computational modeling of gene regulatory networks and genome evolution.

**The Biozentrum**
The Biozentrum of the University of Basel is one of the leading life sciences institutes in the world. It consists of 32 groups and 500 employees that research how molecules and cells create life, spanning the scale from atom to organism. Founded in 1971, the Biozentrum has been the birth place of many fundamental discoveries in biology and medicine, spawning several Nobel Laureates.

**Your position**

Our research group
Our research group is highly interdisciplinary, involving both an experimental section where researchers with a background in molecular biology and biophysics are experimentally studying genome evolution and gene regulation at the single cell level in bacteria, and a theoretical section where researchers with backgrounds in theoretical physics, computer science, and applied mathematics are using techniques from Bayesian probability, evolutionary theory, dynamical systems theory, and stochastic processes, to study the function and evolution of genome-wide regulatory networks in cells. We are particularly interested in uncovering the principles by which genome-wide regulatory networks specify and maintain cell identity in multi-cellular organisms, how cells control and exploit the noise in gene regulatory processes, and how gene regulation evolves. A full list of our group's publications can be found here.
