Postdoc Position in Network Dynamics
University of California, Davis To contribute to NSF-funded project evaluating how perturbations propagate through plant-pollinator networks at different timescales. The postdoc will develop and analyze mathemat... ical models of system dynamics, characterize interaction functional forms, and develop inference on plant-pollinator networks using data on species traits, pollinator visitation, and plant seed production. The overarching goal is to use data-theory integration to evaluate how short-term responses (hours to days; e.g., foraging behavior of pollinators, dynamics of floral rewards) affect medium-term responses (months to years; e.g., seed set, plant and pollinator recruitment) and how these, in turn, affect long-term network dynamics (decades to centuries; e.g., species persistence, extinctions). Applicants should hold a PhD in physics, applied math, theoretical ecology, or similar field. Previous experience should include the analysis of large datasets and analytical or numerical methods in mathematical modeling, including the use of machine learning and Bayesian methods. Applicants should be fluent in Python or R, and ideally have experience programming in other languages, such as Matlab or Mathematica. The researcher will be expected to prepare results for peer-reviewed journals, mentor students in the Valdovinos Lab, give conference talks, and contribute to a 3-days grant-funded educational workshop. Initial appointment will be for 1 year, with the possibility to extend to 3 years depending on performance. The start date is flexible and the position is available immediately. To apply, send to Prof. Fernanda Valdovinos (fvaldovinos@ucdavis.edu) the following materials: a cover letter (which includes a brief summary of research experience and interests), a CV (with publication list), and names and contact information for three references. Applications should be submitted as one complete attachment. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

Postdoctoral researcher at SUNY Buffalo
State University of New York at Buffalo I am looking for a postdoc researcher with an initial appointment of 1.5 years, which may be extendable to November 2025. The work location is the State University of New York at ... Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, USA. The PI is Naoki Masuda
and the postdoc will be housed in the Department of Mathematics, which I belong to. The project is on the "energy landscape analysis" of neuroimaging (particularly functional MRI, also perhaps MEG) data. We have been developing and applying this analysis tool for neuroimaging data (some of our publications are: https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms2388 https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms5765 https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rsta.2016.0287 https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-020-0774-y ). With this project, we will further deploy and develop (depending on the candidate's expertise) these methods to various data in health and disease contexts. The original method is founded on the Ising model and somewhat related to networks. Our plan is to not to stick to the Ising model and try to incorporate other techniques including temporal network methods, which is my expertise.
Experience in data analysis (including PhD in a related field such as network science, (computational) brain/neuro- science, medicine, biology, computer science, applied mathematics, physics) and good communication skills are indispensable. However, expertise in fMRI data analysis, neuroscience, statistical physics underlying the energy landscape analysis (undergraduate level or higher statistical physics knowledge), and/or applied mathematics is not mandatory, while it is certainly a plus.

Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology
Chinese Academy of Sciences An opportunity has arisen to join the Computational Systems Epigenomics Lab, headed by Prof Andrew Teschendorff, at the CAS Key Lab of Computational Biology in Shanghai. The Compu... tational Systems Epigenomics Lab carries out computational research at the interface between Epigenomics, Aging and Cancer, with a special focus on Single-Cell Omic and DNA methylation data analysis. We are interested in using computational and mathematical methods, often drawn from signal processing and network science fields, to elucidate systems-biological principles underlying aging and cancer, and specifically, to better understand the role of epigenetics and DNA methylation changes in cancer formation. In line with P4 Medicine we are also keen on using epigenetic clock and single-cell methods to develop practical cancer risk prediction tools. For recent publications, see https://aeteschendorff-lab.github.io. The job entails performing basic research, to help with writing papers, and to help supervise MSc and PhD students. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent PhD graduate to develop and grow their academic career in Computational Biology.

University of Calgary The Department of Radiology in the Cumming School of Medicine and the Departments of Computer Science and of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science at the University of C... algary are accepting applications for a Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational modeling of brain networks and mental illness risk.
The postdoc will work with Drs. Emma Towlson and Signe Bray on modeling brain networks in the context of mental illness risk. The project will involve working with neuroimaging data to build whole-brain simulations and examine network characteristics. Depending on interest, the postdoc may play a role in study design and data collection, though the primary focus is modeling and data analysis. This is a 2-year position with the possibility of extension.
This postdoctoral project aligns with the University of Calgary priorities in Brain and Mental Health and Child Health and Wellness. Drs. Bray and Towlson are members of the Hotchkiss Brain Institute (HBI) and Alberta Children’s Hospital Research Institute (ACHRI), which offer high quality professional development opportunities (e.g., HBI-REALISE; https://hbi.ucalgary.ca/education/realise).
Applicants must be nearing completion of a PhD or have completed a PhD in the last three years and should have interest in computational approaches to brain and mental health and have a background in network neuroscience, psychology, neurosciences, physics, biomedical engineering, or a related discipline. Experience with neuroimaging and strong data analytic skills are required. It is highly desirable that applicants have experience conducting research in an interdisciplinary environment. We will provide training for the successful applicant in areas outside of their home discipline that are relevant to the project.
