About this position
Ghent University Global Campus in Incheon, South Korea is advertising a full-time postdoctoral position in the Center for Biosystems and Biotech Data Science. The role sits within an interdisciplinary research environment focused on mathematical and computational approaches for understanding biosystems and biotech data. The center’s work includes biochemical reaction networks, ecological and epidemiological systems, parameter estimation, model reduction, stability analysis, and the modelling of metapopulation, ecological competition, and compartmental infection networks.
The appointed postdoc will work in the area of mathematical biology, with particular emphasis on control of ecological networks via metapopulation design. The project specifically mentions dynamics of Lotka-Volterra systems and metapopulation networks. In addition to conducting research, the successful candidate will assist the supervisor with ongoing and future R&D projects, present results at conferences, and publish in peer-reviewed international journals.
The position is a 2-year full-time postdoc under the supervision of Prof. Shodhan Rao at Ghent University Global Campus.
