POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN STATISTICAL BIOINFORMATICS
A post-doctoral research position is available for 27 months to work
on an exciting multi-disciplinary research problem spanning systems
biology, statistical bioinformatics and computing science. The
ComparaGRID project is funded by the BBSRC Bioinformatics and
e-Science Programme II for a period of three years and started in
January 2005. The position is available due to the former postholder
moving to a lectureship at Lancaster University. Applicants should
have (or be near to completing) a PhD in Statistics, Mathematical
Modelling, Computational Biology or a related discipline. Knowledge of
some of Bayesian statistics, computational statistics, MCMC, software
development, GRID/web services, systems biology, molecular biology and
genetics would be advantageous, but training and support will be
available as required. The appointee will work primarily with Prof RJ
Boys, Dr DJ Wilkinson and Dr M Bhattacharjee (Lancaster) and be based

groups in Bayesian statistics and statistical bioinformatics. They
will also enjoy stimulating interaction with other bioinformatics and
biological modelling groups at Newcastle, especially the groups within
the School of Computing Science and the School of Clinical Medical
Sciences. Further information regarding the project can be obtained
