PhD in Computational Genomics and Systems Biology
Print version
Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship in Computational Genomics and Systems Biology at the Centre for Bioinformatics.
The aim of the project will be the large-scale analysis of cellular gene networks and their interactions in order to link the structural and functional network properties and further our understanding of the rules governing species evolution and molecular interactions. Previous work involved the development of mathematical procedures for module discovery and data mining of microbial interaction networks. The work under this PhD studentship is expected to enhance these approaches through the use of appropriate database technologies, mathematical and statistical modelling as well as relevant computational biology software.

Funding
The PhD studentship will cover tuition fees up to the UK/EU level (currently £3,240 p.a.) and provide a stipend at standard research council rates (currently £14,600 p.a.). Candidates not eligible for UK/EU tuition fees are welcome to apply but must be able to fund the difference between UK/EU fees and overseas fees (overseas fees are currently £12,820 p.a.).
Applications
Applicants must have a first or upper second class degree from a UK University or the overseas equivalent in a discipline related to Biological Sciences, Computing, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics or Engineering. Experience in computer programming is a major advantage. A Masters degree in Bioinformatics or related area would also be advantageous.
