Applications are invited for up to four research positions supported by an EPSRC grant "Joining the dots: from data to insight"                       (http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/N014189/1). This programme will develop a powerful synthesis of methods from topology, statistics and machine learning for applications in medicine and computational chemistry.

The positions arise in the context of a new exciting interdisciplinary programme developed at Southampton by a team of scientists from Mathematical Sciences, Computer Science, Medicine and Chemistry under the umbrella of the Institute for Life Sciences. The work will cover a wide range of problems from developing new data analytic methodology, algorithmic implementations, to specific applications. Our exemplar applications include clinical studies of asthma (in collaboration with U-BIOPRED, the largest asthma research consortium in the world) and computational molecule design, which is at the centre of research into new drugs for major diseases.

You will have a PhD (or equivalent) and experience in an appropriate area of Mathematics, Computer Science, Mathematical Biology, Computational Chemistry, a strong research background in one or more of topological data analysis, machine learning, neural networks, and statistics, strong computational skills supported by proficiency in a programming language like MATLAB, R, SAS, python, etc.  You will also have a strong interest and track record in interdisciplinary projects and able to work successfully in a research team.
