Lectureship in Informatics - Mathematical Modelling and Genetic Epidemiology
We are seeking a Lecturer in Informatics in the Mathematical Modelling and Genetic Epidemiology group (Division of Genomic Medicine) at the University of Sheffield. The successful applicant will be expected to take an active role in the research of the group and also to teach on the group's modular MSc courses. Possible areas for collaborative research include comparative genomics, graphical modelling of protein interactions, and blocked Gibbs sampling. The successful applicant will have, or be about to complete, a PhD in a mathematical subject and will have a strong interest in pursuing research in problems in genetics.

The Mathematical Modelling and Genetic Epidemiology Group
The research interests of the group cover a wide range of mathematical areas and their application to cellular and molecular processes, various aspects of genetic epidemiology, in particular gene-hunting for complex diseases (Rheumatoid Arthritis, Celiac disease, psoriasis, NIDDM etc.), graph theory and graphical modelling, and more general applications of mathematics, statistics and computing to problems in biology and genetics.
The staff currently at the group are: Professor Chris Cannings, Professor Alun Thomas, Dr Dawn Teare, Dr Angie Cox, Dr Mark Iles and Dr Nick Monk
The group has 3 current PhD students with 2 studentships open. The group currently has funding from the ARC, BBSRC, EPSRC, Central Hospitals Trust and Glaxo-Wellcome. More details about the research group and our interests can be found at http://www.shef.ac.uk/mmge/
