3 1/2 yr PDRA position in statistical computation based analysis of
spatial-temporal 3D fluorescent data. Ref 53124-056.
Warwick University in the Systems Biology Dept (Mathematics/Statistics)
A 3.5 year PDRA position is available in the Warwick Systems Biology
centre starting October 2006 (flexible) in statistical analysis of
spatial-temporal 3D fluorescent data. You will be involved in the
development of algorithms for 2D and 3D spatial data analysis, and
their application to a biological system (cell:cell contact and
molecule redistribution on the cell surface). The project is
interdisciplinary, working with 2 experimental teams in Oxford and
Imperial, and with mathematicians and statisticians in Warwick.
You will primarily perform statistical algorithm development (primarily
Markov chain Monte Carlo methods) and data analysis (including
hypothesis testing), but also some modelling. Models will be a
combination of spatial lattice models, partial differential equations,
ODEs and stochastic analogs.
You do not need experience with biology but must hold a relevant PhD
(statistics, mathematics, physics, computer science). You should have
experience in statistical computation/simulation, ideally MCMC in some
context.
