[visionlist] Motion Computation

[Johnston, Alan]

Research Associate CoMPLEX x3, - Ref:1290074
UCL Department / Division: CoMPLEX
Grade: 7
Hours: Full Time
Salary (inclusive of London allowance): £32,055 to £38,744 per annum

Duties and Responsibilities
 The 2020 Science programme; a joint collaboration between UCL, Oxford University and Microsoft Research Cambridge, now into its second year at UCL, is focused on producing a new generation of highly computational natural scientists and tool builders able to apply novel approaches to tackle fundamental problems in natural science.
 Three new posts under the 2020 Science programme, funded for 24 months in the first instance, will join three existing Research Associates appointed in 2011 based in CoMPLEX. The programme is funded by the EPSRC in association with Microsoft Research.
 There are three positions, please view the attached document accessed at the bottom of this page for further details of the projects.
1. Motion Computation for the Life Sciences (contact: Prof Alan Johnston, a.johnston at ucl.ac.uk<mailto:a.johnston at ucl.ac.uk> )
2. Early Eukaryotic Evolution and Early Features of Life (contact: Prof Andrew Pomiankowski, ucbhpom at ucl.ac.uk<mailto:ucbhpom at ucl.ac.uk> )
3. Theoretical and Computational Immunology/Virology (contact: Prof Peter Coveney, p.v.coveney at ucl.ac.uk<mailto:p.v.coveney at ucl.ac.uk> )

Key Requirements
Suitable candidates will be highly motivated researchers with a PhD in a relevant area of science, such as: mathematical or computational biology, computational neuroscience, computer science or biology. Research experience of mathematical or computational modelling of complex natural systems is essential, as well as the ability to conduct and complete research projects, as witnessed by published peer-reviewed work. The post-holders are expected to be exceptional early-stage scientists who will apply for further research fellowship funding during the period of the award. Applicants will be expected to demonstrate experience in the modelling and analysis of complex natural systems appropriate to the individual projects (e.g. neuromorphic computing evolutionary genetic analyses, chemical kinetics, systems biology approaches based on differential equations). Experience of analysing and incorporating experimental data into computational models, and proficiency in programming on higher end computing resources would be beneficial.
