職務名稱：Postdoctoral Researcher
系所/單位名稱：Prof Martin Howard in the Department of Computational and Systems Biology
申請人資格：
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Postdoctoral Researcher to join the Howard Group at the John Innes Centre, working on cutting-edge science in the field of Computational and Systems Biology.
About the John Innes Centre
The John Innes Centre is an independent, international centre of excellence in plant and microbial sciences. We nurture a creative, curiosity-led approach to answering fundamental questions in bioscience, and translate that knowledge into societal benefits. Our strategic vision, Healthy Plants, Healthy People, Healthy Planet, sets out our ambitious long-term goals for the game changing impact of our science globally.
The role
The main purpose of the position is to develop predictive computational models of epigenetic dynamics, collaborating particularly with the experimental group of Prof Rob Klose in the Dept of Biochemistry, Oxford University. The models will enhance our understanding of how the Polycomb system silences gene expression and how such a silenced memory state can be stably maintained through many cell cycles. The position is funded by Wellcome and would suit an individual with a high degree of independence and vision, able to advance the project independently. The successful candidate will have a rare opportunity to work on fundamental biological processes in a truly interdisciplinary environment, with seamless collaboration with a leading experimental group.
The ideal candidate
The ideal candidate will possess (or soon complete) a PhD in Theoretical Physics, Bio-Mathematics or Computational Biology. They will possess a strong interest in biological problems and have achieved demonstrable scientific success in previous roles. Prior experience of biological modelling is desirable but not essential.
聘期：36 months, full-time
薪資待遇：£36,720 - £39,750 per annum depending on qualifications and experience
受理期間：2025年5月18日止 (We reserve the right to close this vacancy early before the closing date if enough applications are received.)
