2024-2 Recruitment Announcement for Research Positions at the Biomedical Mathematics Group

Institute for Basic Science (IBS) is a national research institute established in accordance with Article 14 of “the Special Act on Establishment of and Support for International Science and Business Belts”. IBS aims to discover creative knowledge and secure original technologies through world-class basic science research.

Biomedical Mathematics Group (BIMAG) is a research group in the Center for Mathematical and Computational Sciences at IBS in Daejeon, South Korea. In BIMAG, researchers from various backgrounds, including Mathematics, Physics, Biology and Medicine develop mathematical theories and tools and solve various biological and medical problems. The Chief Investigator is Jae Kyoung Kim, and BIMAG consists of three teams.

  • 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.
  • 2. The intercellular dynamics team aims to develop inference methods for dynamic cellular networks and apply them to uncover structures underlying various biological networks.
  • 3. 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.

All positions do not have any teaching duties. BIMAG offers internationally competitive salaries (starting annual salary>KRW 57,000,000) and benefits (incentive and benefit card). Furthermore, IBS has a childcare facility, dormitory, and family housing for researchers. The expected appointment date is December 1, 2024, but it can be adjusted to earlier or later, but no later than March 1, 2025. Successful candidates should have experience in mathematical modeling or data analysis of biological systems.

[Support Systems for International Researchers]
Roughly one-third of all researchers at IBS are from overseas. These international researchers have three support options to adapt to life in Korea.

  • 1. IBS supplies a service called the Global Help Desk, which offers personalized help via email and phone.
  • 2. IBS has its own support website called “Living in Korea.
  • 3. We have several staffs who help with work situations.

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.
