**About the Role**
Join the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for the Mathematical Analysis of Cellular Systems (MACSYS), the world's largest focused research initiative in mathematical biology.

As a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow, you will employ advanced mathematical and computational techniques, which may include graph theory, computational algebraic geometry, chemical reaction network theory, and computational topology (including topological data analysis) to:

- understand the structure and function of cellular chemical reaction networks (CRNs).
- identify fundamental design principles of complex CRNs, and/or
- compute informative topological invariants on CRNs, to inform and support the automated generation and in silico evolution of whole cell models (WCMs).

This position offers the opportunity to contribute to the construction and analysis of mathematical whole cell models (WCMs) and to tackle fundamental biological problems within a diverse and inclusive research environment.

Your responsibilities will include:

- Under the guidance and support of Senior Academic staff conduct internationally competitive research, resulting in publications in high impact journals
- Contribute to and publish academic papers and other scholarly outputs to a high academic standard in accordance with the research expectations of the University of Melbourne
- Actively participate in research seminars and conferences to disseminate research findings as opportunities arise
- Contribute to the preparation, or where appropriate individual preparation of research proposal submissions to internal or external funding bodies as relevant.

**Who We Are Looking For**
You will demonstrate a strong aptitude for research, supported by a solid publication record in relevant fields, aligning with your experience and available opportunities. Additionally, you should exhibit a clear commitment and eagerness to develop a successful academic research career trajectory.

You will also have:

- Completion (or near completion) of a PhD in mathematics, applied mathematics, statistics, mathematical or computational biology, theoretical physics, or a related discipline.
- Knowledge in dynamical systems and algebraic methods for mathematical modelling (e.g. graph theory and linear algebra methods).
- Experience in the modelling and analysis of chemical reaction networks.
- Demonstrated interest in cellular signalling (e.g. signal transduction, or gene regulatory networks, or metabolic networks).
