Research Fellow in statistical analysis of a bee-virus-mite system. Open position, 30 mths, in Warwick Systems Biology Centre, Warwick University, UK. Closing date Tuesday 08 February 2011. We have a 30mth PDRA position available working on an exciting project unraveling the causes of honeybee decline in the UK (and world-wide). The focus is on a virus that causes severe debilitation and linked to the decline (colony collapse). Using data from the latest biological technology (including 2nd generation sequencing, microarrays) you will use a variety of statistical techniques to develop an understanding of cause and effect, unravelling the role of the varroa mite in enhancing the pathogenicity of this virus. Data on both individual bees and populations will be analysed. The post will require extensive data handling and data integration at the model level. Bayesian methods are preferred.
