Postdoctoral Research Assistant
Found in: Talent UK C2 - 2 weeks ago
About the Role
Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant (PDRA) to work at the School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences (SBBS) in the research group of Dr. Mario dos Reis, as part of a BBSRC project on development of Bayesian methods to analyse large genomic datasets. We seek a highly motivated individual with relevant background in statistics/physics/computational biology. The successful candidate will contribute to real data analyses and to the development of Bayesian MCMC algorithms in the MCMCtree software and associated R packages. We are interested in Hamiltonian Monte Carlo and covariance-informed MCMC samplers. The project is a collaboration with Prof. Ziheng Yang (UCL) and Prof. Philip C. J. Donoghue (Bristol University).
About You
A PhD in a subject relevant to the project is essential. This is an integrative project and relevant subject areas include computational biology, bioinformatics, physics, statistics, computer science and related. Experience of code development in a major programming language (such as C, C++ or Java) is essential. Experience of phylogenetics software development, use of high-performance computing facilities, evolutionary biology, MCMC sampling algorithms, and genome data analysis are desirable but not essential.
You should have excellent communication skills, with the ability to present your research findings both orally and in writing. You must have excellent time management skills, and the ability to complete large tasks on a schedule. The project is highly collaborative, and you are expected to work well within a team, and have the ability to deliver production-ready software for use by other team members.
About the School
As a member of the dos Reis group () you will be part of a dynamic research community at SBBS (). The school employs circa 120 academics working in evolutionary biology, genomics, cell biology, ecology, and experimental psychology.
