In the Department of Mathematics at NC State University, a long tradition of excellent teaching and a supportive environment for students are paired with cutting-edge research across a broad spectrum of mathematics and its applications. Many members of the department participate in interdisciplinary programs and research groups on campus and in the broader Research Triangle community.
Research strengths of the Department include the core mathematical areas of algebra, topology, and geometry, especially their connections to combinatorics, symbolic computation, and mathematical physics; core areas of applied mathematics, including matrix analysis, numerical analysis, scientific computation, probability, optimal control, ordinary, partial, and stochastic differential equations, and dynamical systems; and applications of mathematics to biology, finance, and industrial problems. Annual research funding exceeds $3 million, and supports numerous research assistantships for undergraduate and graduate students. More information about the department can be found at http:\\www.math.sciences.ncsu.edu. While working in this department, you will be expected to foster a supportive and welcoming environment.
NC State promotes an integrated approach to problem solving that transforms lives and provides leadership for social, economic, and technological development across North Carolina and around the world. NC State's land grant mission of teaching, research and service is dedicated to the service of North Carolina and its people. Applicants are encouraged to review the institution's mission, vision and strategic plan, and consider how their background, interest and experience would enable them to support the university.
The Research Associate will contribute to ongoing projects in BK virus. The BK virus is a common infection of immune-suppressed kidney transplant patients, leading in some cases to loss of the transplanted kidney. There is no effective antiviral against BK virus and the standard practice is to reduce immunosuppression, which can itself lead to kidney rejection; hence the management of immunosuppression of these patients is very challenging. In this project, we use existing data sets from collaborators at Duke University to develop mathematical models and optimal control algorithms of the dynamic interactions between the virus, the immune systems, and the transplanted kidney. |
