<b>Calcium spiking with cumulative refractoriness - statistics of
the fluctuations and implications for Calcium signaling</b><b><br>
<br>
</b>We are looking for a PhD candidate to theoretically explore
models of noisy spike-generating cellular signalling systems for
which the intracellular Calcium dynamics is a prominent example.
Methods will be developed within the frameworks of the theory of
stochastic processes, statistical physics and nonlinear dynamics.
<br>
<br>
The project is a collaboration between the research groups of Martin
Falcke (Max-Delbrueck Center for Molecular Medicine Berlin and
Humboldt University Berlin) and Benjamin Lindner (Bernstein Center
for Computational Neuroscience Berlin and Humboldt University
Berlin) and the PhD students of both groups are expected to closely
collaborate.
<br>
<br>
The successful candidate should have a degree in physics (a
background in physical biology is desirable but not obligatory),
expertise in analytical calculations, programming skills (C++ or C,
Python, LaTeX, Linux), and excellent command of the English
language, good communication skills, and team spirit.
<br>
<br>
Funding is provided for three years, starting at the latest February
1, 2019.

The deadline for applications is December 31st 2018, however, later
applications might also be considered.

HU is seeking to increase the proportion of women in research and
teaching, and
specifically encourages qualified female scholars to apply. Severely
disabled applicants
<br>
with equivalent qualifications will be given preferential
consideration. People with an
immigration background are specifically encouraged to apply. Since
we will not return
<br>
your documents, please submit copies in the application only.
