Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Mathematical Modelling of the Microbiome
3 weeks ago
The Role:
The successful candidate will develop mathematical models of microbial communities, incorporating predictive mechanistic models that integrate multiple sources of data, including abundances, metabolites, and expression levels. These models may involve dynamical systems, such as ODEs and SDEs, as well as metabolic modelling. To fit them to data, numerical optimisation methods, such as linear programming, or methods from Bayesian statistics and machine learning, including variational inference and MCMC, will be used.
The Ideal Candidate:
The ideal candidate will have a PhD in mathematics, physics, bioinformatics, or statistics, or a related subject area with a strong element of mathematical modelling. A First-class degree in any area of science is also essential. Exceptional candidates without a PhD will be considered, but a Masters degree in a quantitative subject would be essential. Knowledge of software programming in at least one language, such as R, Python, or C/C++, and a basic understanding of calculus and statistics are also essential requirements for this role. Command line bioinformatics is desirable. A proven record in scientific writing and experience of oral research presentations are also essential. Knowledge of Bayesian statistics, bioinformatics of metagenomics or metabolomics, and a biological understanding of microbial communities and metabolism would be advantageous.
Additional Information:
This is a full-time post for a contract of three years. Salary on appointment will be within the range £35,300 to £43,750 per annum depending on qualifications and experience for the SC6 level role, and £43,550 - £54,900 per annum depending on qualifications and experience for the SC5 level criteria. This role meets the criteria for a visa application, and we encourage all qualified candidates to apply. Please contact the Human Resources Team if you have any questions regarding your application or visa options. As a Disability Confident employer, we guarantee to offer an interview to all disabled applicants who meet the essential criteria for this vacancy.
