The College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences brings together the excellent teaching and research of these complementary specialisms.   Scientists within the College are active in internationally recognised research across the disciplines playing a pivotal role in all five key interdisciplinary research themes within the University's Science Strategy: climate change and sustainable futures, extrasolar planets, functional materials, systems biology and translational medicine. Supported by over GBP 3M in research funding, the Systems Biomedicine group is one of the most rapidly expanding groups within the Discipline of Mathematics and Computer Science and is seeking to appoint a new Research Fellow to join the team (currently 2 Professors, 1 SL, 2 L, 14 PDRAs and 10 PhD students), where you will be based in the Centre for Biomedical Modelling and Analysis, housed in our state of the art Research Innovation Learning and Development (RILD) building.

Working with Professor John Terry and Dr Marc Goodfellow on an Epilepsy Research UK Funded Project: "Validating mathematical models for diagnosis and prognosis of focal epilepsies", this post forms part of a large scale research effort that will ultimately enable the clinical translation of developed mathematical models.  The role is available from 01 February 2016, or a mutually agreeable date soon after, for a period of 36 months. Working with experimental and clinical scientists at the University of Geneva and King's College London, the postholder will develop mathematical models, validate them through reiterative experimental studies performed by our partners in Geneva, and test their predictive capacity using clinical data. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in mathematical modelling, preferably including the use of dynamic network models, and should have experience of working with experimental or clinical collaborators.



Applicants should hold a PhD in computational or mathematical biology, complex networks and graph theory, systems biology, computational neuroscience, nonlinear dynamical systems or a closely related discipline. Exceptional communication skills are critical, as the postholder will need to present information on research progress and outcomes, as well as the ability to communicate both verbally and in writing complex information. Additionally the successful candidate will have the ability to write up scientific findings succinctly for publication, and this should be evidenced through first author publications.
