Applications are open for an exciting 2-years PDRA opportunity for a systems medicine project at Imperial College London. https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CDO584/research-assistant-research-associate This post is for a project aimed at developing a computational model that can predict which pre-school wheezers will develop asthma and elucidate dynamic patterns underlying progression of pre-school wheezing. The post holder will be based in the Department of Bioengineering on South Kensington campus. We will develop a mechanistic model (in silico) by integrating clinical data (in vivo) and experimental data (in vitro), in collaboration with Professor Sejal Saglani (Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College London). You will join the team of enthusiastic researchers including computational biologists, mathematicians, experimentalists and clinicians. The main responsibilities of this post will include mechanistic modelling and machine learning analysis of clinical and experimental data. You will plan, lead and carry out a high-quality research programme in systems medicine. More information on research activities in Dr Tanaka’s group is found in http://www.bg.ic.ac.uk/research/r.tanaka We look for applicants with excellent interpersonal, written and oral communication skills and enthusiasm for exposure to a diversity of scientific projects. Applicants should have a PhD or Masters degree in statistics, machine learning, systems biology, applied mathematics, computer science or a closely related discipline. Applicants should have previous experience in statistical and machine learning methods and knowledge in basic biology. Application is due on 9 Feb.
