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 a postdoctoral research associate as belows;
The Postdoctoral Research Associate position (1) is 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.
Successful candidates should have experience in mathematical modeling or data analysis of biological systems.
This position does 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 March 1, 2026. An earlier appointment may be arranged, but the appointment will be canceled if after this date.
The Biomedical Mathematics Group is scheduled to close on December 31 2026. Accordingly, the employment contract for this position will also end on the same date as the Group's closure.
Open and closing dates are like below:
December 17, 2025 to January 6, 2026, until 16:00 KST
