MRC Research Studentship in Bioinformatics/Intelligent Data Analysis
Birkbeck College and University College, London
Applications are invited for a MRC PhD studentship, within the Intelligent
Data Analysis (IDA) Group at Birkbeck College and the Biomolecular Structure
Modelling (BSM) Unit at University College London. The studentship will
apply intelligent data analysis and data mining techniques to reveal
structure-function relationships in protein families, e.g. to relate HIV
virus mutants with their drug resistance. The studentship will be either for
three years (for candidates with a strong background in both computing and
biochemistry), or for four years (for those who might benefit from attending
the one-year MRes Bioinformatics Course within the Joint Research School in
Biomolecular Sciences at Birkbeck/UCL). The successful candidate will have
a tax-free salary of at least 11,400 pounds.
Applicants should have at least a 2(i) degree in Computer Science or
Life/Physical Sciences with programming skills. A good background in
Artificial Intelligence or Statistics would be an advantage. Please submit
a CV as soon as possible, but not later than 15 October 1999, to Dr X Liu,
Department of Computer Science, Birkbeck College, Malet Street, London
WC1E 7HX, UK. Phone Dr Liu on 0171-631 6711 or email him ([log in to unmask])
or Dr Orengo ([log in to unmask]).
