RESEARCH ASSOCIATE IN BIOSTATISTICS (Ref: MJ126/05)
Centre for Integrative Systems Biology at Imperial College (CISBIC)
This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious post-doc with a PhD in mathematics, statistics, physics or bioinformatics who is looking to develop their career as a biostatistician in the field of Systems Biology. The post is linked to a Centre for Integrative Systems Biology supported by BBSRC and EPSRC recently created at Imperial. The work will involve the development of new statistical procedures in data analysis and data fusion and apply these, in close collaboration with experimental and modelling groups associated with CISBIC, to a variety of systems biology problems in pathogen biology. This will entail the development of new methods and software tools that allow the integrative analysis of results obtained from different experimental techniques. Relevant techniques include - Computational statistics (such MCMC), including software development.- Bioinformatics and statistical analysis of systems biology data, -New tools for the integrative analysis of biological network data.
The aim of the CISB is to exploit the interdisciplinary research strengths at Imperial College to create a world-leading Centre that will provide a nucleus for promotion of systems biology research across Imperial College and the wider academic and industrial community. The Centre will include multi-access facilities for high-throughput genome technologies and an exemplar programme in the area of innate immunity. The centre is currently recruiting researchers with backgrounds in biology and in computational science who are interested in working together to develop this exciting new area of science.
The research associate in Biostatistics will work with Professor Sylvia Richardson ([log in to unmask]) and Dr Michael Stumpf ([log in to unmask]). Salary £22,870-£33,330 inclusive of London Allowance. The appointment is for three years.
