Position Description
Biomedical Mathematics Group (BIMAG) is a research group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), which is located in Daejeon, South Korea. BIMAG is the place where researchers from various backgrounds including Mathematics, Physics, Biology, and Medicine research together to develop Mathematical theories and tools and apply them to solve various Biological and Medical problems.The Chief Investigator of BIMAG is Jaekyoung Kim, and BIMAG consists of three teams.
The intracellular dynamics team aims to develop reduction methods for multi-scale systems and apply them to understand molecular dynamics underlying enzyme kinetics, pharmacokinetics, cancer immunotherapy, and circadian rhythms.
The intercellular dynamics team aims to develop inference methods for dynamic cellular networks and apply them to uncover structures underlying various biological networks.
The systemic dynamics team aims to develop digital medicine for sleep disorders based on health-wearable devices via mathematical modeling and machine learning.
In BIMAG, researchers can investigate mathematical theories, collaborate with various experimental groups, invite international visitors and organize regular international workshops. Currently, BIMAG researchers collaborate with more than 20 experimental labs.
We plan to hire researchers in the following two categories.
The Senior Researcher positions (2) are available for individuals who have Doctoral degree as of the appointment start date. The appointment is initially for two years and can be extended for three more years.
The Postdoctoral Research Associate positions (2) are available for individuals within the first five years after obtaining their Ph.D. at the date of appointment or expecting to obtain a Ph.D. within three months from the appointment date.
The appointment is initially for two years and can be extended for one more year after reviews of the research performance.
All positions do not have any teaching duties. BIMAG offers internationally competitive salaries (starting annual salary>KRW 57,000,000), travel funds, and benefits (incentive, medical insurance, and travel insurance).
Furthermore, IBS has a childcare facility, dormitory, and family housing for researchers.
The expected appointment date is December 1, 2025, but it can be adjusted to earlier or later, but no later than March 1, 2026.
Successful candidates should have experience in mathematical modeling or data analysis of biological systems.
Open and closing dates are like below:
August 18, 2025 to September 4, 2025, until 18:00 KST
How to apply: online application through the website
