Ph.D Positions in Intelligent Systems Engineering (Computational Biology) at IUB

Description of the Lab:

Dr. Macklin’s Math Cancer Lab is hiring newfully-funded PhD students in 2019 Fall or 2020 Spring. Dr. Macklin is anAssociate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies in the Department ofIntelligent Systems Engineering within School of Informatics, Computing, andEngineering at Indiana University (IU). His lab develops open source computational tools for multicellular systems biology. He has developedcross-platform, parallelized C++ open source codes for multi-substrate diffusion (BioFVM) and large-scale agent-based simulations in 3-D tissues(PhysiCell). These codes have been applied to diverse problems in cancer biology, nanotherapy, tissue engineering, immunology, cryobiology, synthetic systems, and microbiology. He has worked closely with others to develop new capabilities for the PhysiCell platform, such as integrated Boolean signaling networks (PhysiBoSS), high-throughput model exploration and optimization on supercomputer resources (PhysiCell-EMEWS), and cloud deployment ofuser-interactive agent-based models (via nanoHUB). His work is funded by Breast Cancer Research Foundation, the Jayne Koskinas Ted Giovanis Foundation for Health and Policy, the National Cancer Institute and the National Science Foundation etc. As the funding situation in his lab is good, majority of timecan be spent in the research if admitted.

Required Qualifications:
Candidates should have a bachelor degree or Master degree (preferred) in Mathematics/Physics/MechanicalEngineering/EE/CS/Bioinformatics/ or related areas. Excellent oral and written communication skills and ability to work in a fast paced collaborative environment are required. Experience in Numerical Simulation/High Performance Computing/Image Processing are highly desired butnot required. In addition, C++/Python/Matlab is necessary for the research.

Application Procedure:

请感兴趣的同学将将简历，成绩单和语言成绩发到 wangyafe@iu.edu. 我会把背景合适的简历转发给Dr.Macklin,因为他非常忙，并不会检查所有邮件，我建议不要直接发邮件给他，防止被skip掉，之前我和他讨论过这个问题，他也建议先发送给我这边。
