The Rangamani group at the University of California San Diego is recruiting a postdoctoral scholar in neuronal biophysics, with a focus on biophysical modeling of neuronal processes. This opportunity is ideal for candidates interested in mathematical modeling, computational biophysics, and interdisciplinary research at the interface of biology, physics, and neuroscience. The group investigates subcellular processes in neurons, leveraging advanced modeling techniques and scientific computing to address open questions in the field. Recent publications highlight the group's expertise in spatial modeling, cell signaling, calcium dynamics, and statistical mechanics.

Applicants should have a PhD in computational biophysics, mathematical biology, physics, or a related discipline. Essential skills include proficiency in high performance computing, finite-element methods, and particle-based simulations. The successful candidate will be motivated to learn new technologies and contribute to collaborative research projects, including supervision and training of graduate and undergraduate researchers. Responsibilities also include manuscript preparation, fellowship and grant applications, and presenting research at meetings.

The position is governed by the UAW contract for postdoctoral scholars at UCSD, ensuring competitive funding and support. The start date is flexible, and the group encourages applications from self-starters with excellent communication skills. To apply, candidates should email Prof. Rangamani with a cover letter detailing research interests and envisioned lab interactions, a current CV, and contact information for three references.
