>Hi -
>
>We are looking for a post-doc or two for various projects supported
>through an NIH funded training program (www.cibm.wisc.edu). The idea
>of the program is to get "computation" people (computer scientists,
>...) to think about problems in biology and medicine, and vice versa.
>
>The ideal person would be strong in a "computation area" and have some
>background in biology, and applying computation to it. If they have
>less experience with the biological applications its OK (providing
>they have the interest in learning).
>
>The two projects I am involved with most closely are quite different:
>
>- I am working with George Phillips on computational tools for
>   understanding protein structure and function. For this project, we
>   are looking for a person with experience with geometric analysis,
>   shape matching, biophysics, visualization, bioinformatics,
>   structural biology, ...
>   (clearly, the person won't have experience with everything, but they
>   should have interest and experience in at least some of it)
>
>- I am working with Patti Brennan on developing immersive simulations
>   to understand the design of home health care devices.
>
>There are other poissible projects (for example, creating
>visualization tools for comparative genomics or data analysis and
>visualization tools for biomechanics), but the above two projects will
>have priority.
>
>If you know of someone who is looking for a post-doc (finishing
>sometime soon, or in the spring) who might be appropriate, please let
>me know.
>
>The official announcement for the program is below. Note that I (or
>need to nominate the person (they cannot apply directly). So please
>put people in touch with me.
>
>(as an aside, George and I will be graduating two Ph. D. students this
>summer who have worked on this kind of stuff, so if you're looking for
>a post-doc, let me know)
>
>Thanks!

>Re:   Nominations for a CIBM Postdoctoral Traineeship
>
>We are calling for nominations for a postdoctoral traineeship in the
>Computation and Informatics in Biology and Medicine (CIBM) Training
>Program, funded by the NLM Grant 5T15LM007359, to begin February, 2010 or
>later.
>
>We are attaching a form you can use to nominate outstanding candidates for
>the CIBM Training Program. The postdoctoral traineeship is for a one- to
>two-year period.
>
>These traineeships are designed for cross-disciplinary training - thus we
>are asking that the candidate have a secondary mentor in addition to the
>primary mentor (one from computational / informatics areas, and the other
>from biological areas). A list of the CIBM trainers is available on the CIBM
>website (www.cibm.wisc.edu).
>
>The due date for the nominations is Tuesday, January 5th, 2010 (by 3 p.m.
>in the CIBM Office, Rm. 3420 Biotechnology Center Addition).
>
>If you have questions, please contact myself (lpape@wisc.edu), Karen Nafzger
>(nafzger@biotech.wisc.edu), or a member of the CIBM Management Committee.
>They include:
>
>Fred Blattner (fred@genome.wisc.edu)
>Patricia Brennan (pbrennan@engr.wisc.edu)
>Mark Craven (craven@biostat.wisc.edu
>C. David Page (page@biostat.wisc.edu)
>George Phillips (phillips@biochem.wisc.edu)
>Jude Shavlik (shavlik@cs.wisc.edu)
