We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate to work with Professor Helen Byrne on an exciting new Cancer Research UK funded project, using mathematical and computational modelling to understand the impact of hypoxia dynamics on therapeutic responses in breast cancer. The position is available for 33 months and the postholder will be based here at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford.

The successful candidate will join a successful multi-disciplinary team comprising of researchers at the Mathematical Institute and Department of Oncology, University of Oxford, and the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute, with the ultimate aim of investigating how cycling hypoxia, or low oxygen levels, affects the growth and response of tumours to treatment in vitro. You will use mathematical and computational modelling techniques via the group's existing programming software, Microvessel Chaste, to simulate blood flow initially through artificial vessel networks, and later through biological vessel networks derived from photoacoustic images.

Applicants will be expected to have, or be close to completing, a PhD in mathematics or a related discipline. You must have prior experience of developing and applying numerical methods to solve systems of partial differential equations (PDEs), and an ability to program in C++ or a similar language. Previous experience of the multiscale modelling of biological systems is desirable.

PhD Program in "MODELING AND  ENGINEERING RISK AND COMPLEXITY" in the Scuola Superiore Meridionale  di Napoli.

The overarching goal of the PhD program is to train a new generation 
of highly qualified researchers and professionals, who will be able to 
combine applied and theoretical expertise from a wide range of fields 
to develop and apply new methods to study and manage complex systems, 
to engineer resilient systems and to analyse and cope with risk and 
cascading effects.

The deadline for applications is June 30, 2020.

The PhD program aims at attracting highly qualified international 
students. It lasts 4 years and all successful candidates will get a 
fellowship of 1,500 euros per month (net amount) for all 4 years. The 
fellowship will be increased by a 50% for the period that they will 
conduct their PhD abroad. In addition, each PhD student will have an 
additional budget of 3,800 euros each year to cover participation into 
conferences, summer schools etc.

International Conference on Mathematical Neuroscience (Digital)

Due to the coronavirus situation, together with ESMTB and SMB Boards, we have decided to postpone the conference. This decision is not easy and we will all miss the meeting this year, but are looking forward to seeing you all in Heidelberg next year. Further details on ECMTB2021 will be announced soon.

Follow @ecmtb2020 on Twitter and @ecmtb2020 on Facebook for regular updates.

Workshop “*Stochastic Models and Experiments in Ecology and Biology*”

which will be held in *Venice, September 21-24, 2020*, at the European Center of Living Technology (ECLT). Further details can be found on the website 

https://liphlab.github.io/SMEEB2020/

The aim of the workshop is to bring together scientists with different backgrounds (mathematics, biology, physics and computing) interested in microbial ecology and evolutionary biology (both theory and experiments).

We will discuss important and recent research topics in these areas as well as methods and ideas. Topics will include stochastic population dynamics, quantitative and systemic biology, community ecology of microbes, statistical mechanics models in ecology, evolution in microbial communities, biodiversity coexistence and species interactions. The style of the workshop will purposely be informal to encourage discussions.

 The *call of abstracts for contributed talks will close on* *May 24,

2020* (EasyChair

submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=smeeb2020 ).

Please* bring this announcement to the attention of anyone who may be interested, especially students and post-docs *who are not in this mailing list.

 There are 2 registration fee waivers for Ph.Ds / young Post-docs. Look in the website for all info.

The* attendance fee of the workshop will be 200 Euro*, which includes coffee breaks and workshop material. However,* owing to the current Covid-19 *epidemic, the payment is not open at the moment. Once the workshop will eventually be confirmed, we will open the payment link and contact those who have pre-registered or submitted an abstract for the final registration.
