Open positions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Biomedical Mathematics Group (BIMAG<\/a>) is a research group in the Pioneer Research Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences<\/a> at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS)<\/a>,  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<\/a> is Jae Kyoung Kim<\/a>, and BIMAG consists of three teams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. 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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The intercellular dynamics team aims to develop inference methods for dynamic cellular networks and apply them to uncover structures underlying various biological networks. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. The systemic dynamics team aims to develop digital medicine for sleep disorders based on health-wearable devices via mathematical modeling and machine learning. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    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 >20 experimental labs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We are hiring one Postdoctoral Fellow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Postdoctoral Research Associate positions 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    All positions do not have any teaching duties. BIMAG offers internationally competitive salaries (starting annual salary>KRW 57,000,000), travel funds, and benefits (medical insurance, travel insurance, and retirement funds). Furthermore, IBS has a childcare facility, dormitory, and family housing for researchers. The expected appointment date is \bMarch 1st, 2026, but it can be adjusted. Successful candidates should have experience in mathematical modeling or data analysis of biological systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Support Systems for International Researchers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Roughly one-third of all researchers at IBS are from overseas. These international researchers have three support options to adapt to life in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. IBS supplies a 24\/7 service called the Global Help Desk, which offers personalized help via email and phone.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. IBS has its own support website called \u201cLiving in Korea\u201d.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. We have several staffs who help with work and non-work situations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      For more information on these support options, please see the related page on Living in Korea at https:\/\/centers.ibs.re.kr\/html\/living_en\/overview\/support.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Experience at BIMAG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

      <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      If your passion to do research is not limited to the bounds of your comfort zone, IBS BIMAG is the right place for you. Having had the opportunity to be in several places in different labs, I could say that IBS BIMAG affords a conducive environment to learn new skills and incubate state-of-the art ideas. You will be generously provided with necessary resources, technical and administrative support, and appropriate academic network, in order to advance novel research works. Its competitive members (especially the graduate research students) will encourage you to do better. Very intelligent supervision from the chief investigator will be expected. Being in this lab for a year exposed me to real and relevant biological problems. I have been (re-)introduced to other mathematical and statistical approaches in modeling biological systems. Work could be challenging, but at the same time, exciting. If you are keen on advancing your academic career, come and join IBS BIMAG!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Across IBS is Shinsegae department store, selling high-end products \u2013 jewelries, perfumes, shoes, clothes, appliances and many more branded items! The basement and the fifth floor house a food-court serving very decent international food. Next to IBS is the Hanbit tower, where fountain shows played with feel-good music and seasonal events are exhibited regularly. One can also walk across the expo bridge leading to Hanbat arboretum to enjoy a botanical garden. If you get tired of the food around IBS, one can explore restaurants around the vibrant area between KAIST and Chungnam, or around Galleria in Dunsan-dong. If life gets boring in Daejeon, one can easily access scenic places in South Korea using Korean train express (KTX).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
