About this position

The Department of Mathematics at Iowa State University is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to join Professor Claus Kadelka in a research program at the interface of mathematics and biology. The position focuses on mathematical biology with projects spanning systems biology, gene regulatory networks, infectious disease modeling, and behavioral epidemiology.

The advertised research program includes NSF-funded work on the structure and dynamics of biological regulatory networks, including questions about canalization and modularity in gene regulatory network models. It also includes the development of mathematical and computational models that represent heterogeneity in human behavior, contact patterns, and other individual-level characteristics, and how those factors influence population-level disease dynamics.

The successful candidate will have flexibility to shape the specific research direction according to their expertise and interests, while working within an active research environment in the Department of Mathematics. The role also includes a teaching load and mentoring undergraduate researchers through Iowa State Math Research Teams (ISMaRT), reflecting the department's emphasis on research, teaching, and student mentorship.

Iowa State describes the Department of Mathematics as a vibrant academic community with strengths in pure and applied mathematics, active externally funded research programs, and opportunities for interdisciplinary engagement and student success.

Funding details

Two-year postdoctoral appointment with possibility of extension to a third year contingent upon available funding; includes a full-time 12-month work period and a paid postdoc position.

What's required

PhD in Mathematics or a closely related discipline by the appointment start date. Candidates should have defined research interests in mathematical biology. Preferred qualifications include a strong research record aligned with Professor Claus Kadelka's interests, especially discrete dynamical systems, network science, computational systems biology, infectious disease modeling, or related fields; demonstrated ability to conduct independent research and collaborate in an interdisciplinary environment; experience teaching undergraduate mathematics courses and mentoring students in research; experience publishing scholarly research and communicating findings to scientific audiences; and experience programming in Python.
