This new full-time put up is obtainable instantly till 30 April 2027 on a fixed-term foundation.
The put up
The College needs to recruit a Postdoctoral Analysis Fellow to steer a programme of computational modelling and ‘omics evaluation of the regulatory community dynamics of mammalian pluripotency. This Medical Analysis Council and European Analysis Council funded put up within the group of Professor Austin Smith is obtainable instantly. The position holder will develop a programme of computational analysis and supporting bioinformatics analyses to delineate developmental trajectories, uncover gene regulatory networks dynamics, and delineate cell destiny transition paths.
You’ll work primarily with single cell NGS information from stem cell self-renewal, differentiation and perturbation research, from pure embryos, and from embryoid fashions. Research will embody comparative analyses between human, non-human primates and different mammals, utilizing stem cells and embryos. You’ll create and implement algorithms, evaluation strategies, visualisation instruments and machine studying approaches to interrogate multimodal ‘omics datasets. You’ll create mathematical and/or computational fashions of the pluripotency gene regulatory community and of cell destiny transitions that can iteratively inform experimental analyses.
