* In-depth understanding of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and how these can be applied in the development of complex models of biological pathways and systems
* In-depth, hands-on knowledge of modeling and simulation software (MATLAB, C/C++ preferred)
* Keen interest in learning new areas of biology and building on a solid foundation of quantitative and computational skills
* Self-directed with ability to work independently
* Team player
* Excellent communication and writing skills
