Description of the area of responsibility:
Development of numerical methods for solving the spatio-temporal master equation and application to realistic problems in the field of cellular reaction kinetics; particular analysis of a hierarchy of spatio-temporal master equations with different spatial resolution and distribution of number of particles, consideration of appropriate asymptotic limit cases and development of appropriate numerical methods.
Requirements:
University degree in mathematics or a natural science.
Qualifications:
Ideally you possess the following qualifications:
- Experience with modeling and simulation for chemical master equations
- Experience with stochastic algorithms and/or asymptotic analysis
- Ability to interdisciplinary communication
