PhD positions in computational biology of stem cells & regeneration

Posted by , on 23 October 2018

Closing Date: 15 March 2021

We are looking for ambitious and motivated postgraduate candidates to join the new computational biology group, led by Dr. Linus Schumacher, at the MRC Centre for Regenerative Medicine in Edinburgh. The group is using expertise in mathematical modelling of cellular processes in development and collective behaviour in biological systems, with a recent focus on stem cells and regeneration.

There is one fully-funded position (UK/EU/overseas) focussing on mathematical & computational modelling of stem cell populations in regeneration and experimentally relevant predictions. Find out more here: https://www.findaphd.com/search/ProjectDetails.aspx?PJID=101556

A second position is jointly experimental and computational, in collaboration with Val Wilson’s lab, on cell state transitions in differentiating embryonic stem cells. This position is competitively funded and available through the EastBio doctoral training programme.

Further opportunities are available through the University of Edinburgh’s Wellcome Trust funded Tissue Repair postgraduate training programme. Students in this programme will have the opportunity to do research rotations and PhDs with our group (in joint supervision with experimental labs).

This is an opportunity to conduct your PhD research on mathematical and computational biology, embedded in a world-leading centre for multidisciplinary research in mammalian stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.
