Posted by EdMorrissey, on 8 September 2017
Closing Date: 15 March 2021
Grade 7: £31,604 – £38,833 p.a.
Applications are invited for the new position of Postdoctoral Scientist in Quantitative Biology of Cell Fate and Tissue Dynamics.
We seek a highly motivated, proactive individual who will benefit from the exceptional WIMM research environment and the recently purpose-built MRC WIMM Centre for Computational Biology, which brings together experts in analysis and modelling of large biomedical datasets. Working under the supervision of Dr Ed Morrissey, you will play a key role in developing mathematical and statistical methods to interpret intestinal stem cell data. You will work in collaboration with the experimental biology group of Dr Doug Winton, based at CRUK-Cambridge Institute. Your work will include developing analytical tools and resources to better understand stem cell dynamics within the intestinal tissue, both in healthy tissue and in the early stages of carcinogenesis.
You will have a PhD in a quantitative discipline (e.g. computational biology, physics, statistics, engineering or mathematics), with experience of working in a UNIX/LINUX environment. You will be proficient in the use of at least one programming language e.g. c++, python, R or MATLAB. A prior publication record with evidence of key involvement in work and a strong interest in applying modelling to biological questions are also essential.
The position, available immediately, is funded by the Wellcome Trust and is fixed-term for 2 years.
