> The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases
> (NIDDK), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Department of Health and
> Human Services, invites applications for tenured or tenure track
> positions in the Laboratory of Biological Modeling.  The Laboratory is
> currently comprised of scientists who use computational approaches to
> understand cell biological and physiological systems.  Specific areas 
> of
> research interest will include mathematical modeling at the 
> subcellular,
> cellular, tissue and system levels. Excellent computational facilities
> and resources for rapid achievement of research goals are available.
> LBM is in close proximity in particular to the NIDDK Computational
> Chemistry Core Facility, engaged in molecular modeling. The position
> offers unparalleled opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration
> within NIDDK and throughout NIH.  For further information about
> NIDDK, see http://www.niddk.nih.gov.  Candidates must have a Ph. D., M.
> D., or equivalent degree in the physical or biomedical sciences.  He or
> she should have an outstanding record of research accomplishments in
> mathematical modeling and will be expected to propose and pursue an
> innovative and independent research program.  Applicants should send a
> curriculum vitae and list of publications, copies of three major
> publications, a plan for future research, and three letters of 
> reference
> to Dr. Robert Tycko, Chair of the Search Committee, Laboratory of
> Chemical Physics, Building 5, Rm 112, 5 Memorial Drive, NIH, Bethesda,

> Position Description:
>
> The successful candidate will establish an independent group with
> research interests focused on mathematical modeling at the subcellular,
> cellular, tissue, or organism levels.  Other members of the Laboratory
> of Biological Modeling (http://lbm.niddk.nih.gov) conduct basic 
> research
> on a wide variety of topics including insulin secretion (A. Sherman),
> insulin action (A. Sherman, C. Chow), metabolism (K. Hall), adipocyte
> differentiation (V. Periwal), , calcium homeostasis (A. Sherman), and
> neuroscience (C. Chow), all relevant to diabetes and obesity.
> Interaction is expected with experimental laboratories or other
> computational groups in NIDDK or other NIH institutes.
