Workload: 100%
Duties: We are seeking two highly motivated and qualified Research Fellows to join Promatix's computational biology group and they will be seconded into the Fisher lab for an initial period. The group investigates the evolutionary dynamics of cancer (initiation, progression, response to therapy and emergence of resistance) using computational models. The post holders will be expected to make significant contributions to the development of computational models for the cancers being studied by Promatix/the Fisher lab (e.g., breast & lung cancer). This will involve data discovery, analysis, computational modelling, and experimental validation in partnership with our experimental collaborators.‍
Requirements: Applicants will have a PhD degree in computational biology, computer science, engineering, physics, mathematics or bioinformatics, or a degree in biological science with substantial experience in computational work. Experience in formal verification methods (in particular, model checking, temporal logic, static analysis, SAT solving and program synthesis), logical modelling and statistical analysis are essential. Candidates should have excellent programming skills in Python, MATLAB, and R. Experience in machine learning and proteomics or other omics is desirable
