The Marie Curie Excellence Team„Mathematical Methods in Biological Image Analysis“MAMEBIA (Head: Dr. Brigitte Forster) is looking for

• 2 early stage researchers (168/05)
• 2 experienced researchers (169/05)

Research in the recently established group is aimed at applied mathematics in the fieldsharmonic analysis and approximation theory with applications in biological image analysis.See www.mamebia.de for a project summary.

Candidates are required to have a degree or PhD within the mathematical sciences. They are expected to have a strong potential in research and should be able to contribute to the interdisciplinary outreach of the project.

The successful candidates will be expected to have a background in harmonic analysis, especially wavelets, numerical analysis and approximation theory with a strong emphasis in computation. Preferably, the candidate already has some experience in interdisciplinary research, especially in the topics of biomedical engineering or signal and image analysis. Good skills in software development in Java and Matlab are preferred.

The GSF focuses its research on one of the most important questions for society, the health of man in the environment. The aim is to identify health risks posed by environmental factors, to elucidate mechanisms of disease development, and to develop concepts for the protection of human health and the natural basis of life for now and the future.

The GSF is a national research center of the Federal Government and the State of Bavaria with its headquarters in Neuherberg to the north of Munich, and is a member of the Helmholtz Association, the largest public research organisation in Germany.

The GSF as holder of the Bavarian Advancement of Women Prize 2004 and of the Total E-Quality Certificate is striving to increase the overall proportion of women on its staff and thus expressly invites qualified women to apply.

We pay salaries according to the regulations of the European Commission´s FP6 framework.The positions are for 1 year and may be extended.

Applicants should send a cover letter, a curriculum vitae with list of publications, a summary of research interests and experience, and two letters of recommendation to the address given below. Applications are reviewed until positions are filled.
