---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Korst, Dorth M <Dorth.Korst(a)abbvie.com> Date: Fri, Oct 19, 2018 at 4:02 PM Subject: AbbVie Postdoctoral Program To: keiser(a)keiserlab.org <keiser(a)keiserlab.org> Dr. Keiser, Dr. Scott Mittelstadt, Director of Pharmaceutical Development/AbbVie Development Sciences indicated that he had met you recently at a conference and that you had mentioned that you had two graduate students finishing up their graduate work. If my timing serves me well, I would like to present an opportunity for an industry Postdoc positon within our Development Biological Sciences group. I have attached a brochure which provides an overview of our program, now in its third year, as well as, a cover note from the hiring manager, Dr. Mohan Rao, and a more detailed position description. If there might be an interest, could you direct your students to me and I would be able to elaborate a bit further on AbbVie and its excitement and commitment to this program. *Cheers /TSChuss* *Dorth Korst* Postdoctoral Program Manager [image: cid:image005.png@01CFC6D1.D5522A30] *AbbVie* V32W AP34 – SW 2nd Floor 1 North Waukegan Road North Chicago, IL 60064 *OFFICE * +1 847-938-3599 *CELL:* +1 224 214-2093 *FAX * +1 847-937-4464 *EMAIL * dorth.korst(a)abbvie.com *AbbVie Fact Book <http://www.flipsnack.com/FDFAE758B7A/explore-abbvie-share-the-passion.html>* *abbvie.com <http://www.abbvie.com/> | Follow us: * *[image: twitter]* <http://www.twitter.com/abbvie> *[image: facebook]* <http://www.facebook.com/abbviecareers> *[image: linkedin]* <http://www.linkedin.com/company/abbvie> *[image: youtube]* <https://www.youtube.com/user/AbbVie> PEOPLE.

The programme aims to facilitate discipline hopping into this area and we welcome undergraduates from biological and medical sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, statistics, engineering and computing. The course will enable you, whatever your first degree, to acquire the breadth of skills to undertake stimulating research using theoretical systems biology and bioinformatics to advance biological and clinical research. As a member of the programme you will join a large community at Imperial applying modelling to study biological and biomedical problems. > > > > The training programme > You will begin your studies by being registered on our highly-successful, year-long MSc in Bioinformatics and Theoretical Systems Biology. This course starts with training and you will acquire core biological, computational and mathematics skills and have lectures in bioinformatics and theoretical systems biology. This is followed by three different rotation projects which enable you to discover and experience different modelling methodologies and experimental laboratory environments. During the first year you will benefit from working with many other students studying for this MSc. The subsequent three PhD years will involve research developing novel theoretical methodologies and applying them to solve biological and biomedical problems. You will have two supervisors throughout your PhD – one theoretical and one experimental – to provide multidisciplinary training. You will have an opportunity to spend time with the experimental group so you understand the data-generating protocols and you can undertake laboratory work to test hypotheses generated from your modelling. We will offer you a wide range of research topics for your PhD as Imperial College has many vibrant research groups working in theoretical systems biology and bioinformatics and their application to bioscience and biomedical problems. > > Application Procedure > The next 4-year programme starts in October 2018. There are 5 fully funded places (stipend, fees and generous research support including travel) for home/EU students and there is one scholarship to provide the additional fees required for an exceptional overseas student. The stipend for 2017 will start at no less than £22,278 in year one, rising to at least £26,839 in year four. Deadline for receipt of applications is 23:00 GMT on Monday 4 December 2017.
