Dear colleagues, The College of Veterinary Medicine at Iowa State University invites applications for a full-time Postdoctoral research associate position in Pharmacology Modeling and Simulation within the Department of Biomedical Sciences (BMS). In this position the individual will develop and apply mathematical models that are relevant to the field of Pharmacometrics and Systems Pharmacology to aid in Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics predictions in multiple species. The focus of the applicant's research will pertain to the analysis of clinical data obtained from spontaneous animal models of human diseases with a special focus on oncology, internal medicine (e.g IBD research), cardiology and infectious diseases. The ultimate goal of this research, which falls under the scope of the One Health initiative consists in bridging the knowledge gap between experimental (i.e rodent) models and human patients, using information from spontaneous animal diseases.
