The opening is a research position within the field of bio-informatics and/or bio-mathematics. CWI intends to extend its activities in these fields and to initiate new research groups that focus on computer science and/or mathematics for the life sciences. Additional support is available for the new research groups in the form of postdoc positions supplied by CWI. Profile -- The applicant is an independent researcher who has a demonstrated record of high-quality research in bio-informatics and/or bio-mathematics. -- He or she has experience in collaborating with scientists working in the life sciences. -- The applicant also has the intention and ability to search for project funding, and to build up a research group. Terms of employment The vacancy concerns a tenure-track position, with an initial appointment for three years. Depending on the candidate's experience, different terms of appointment can be discussed. The salary and terms of employment are in accordance with the "CAO-onderzoekinstellingen" and are based on qualifications.
