Job description

About us The Division of Arithmetic at UCL is an internationally famend division inside one of many world’s most prestigious universities. Since its starting, arithmetic at UCL has been enhanced by its many excellent members of employees. Certainly, two of its college students (and later employees) Professor Klaus Roth (1958) and Professor Alan Baker (1970) have gone on to win the Fields Medal. One other former member of employees Professor Tim Gowers received the Fields Medal in 1998 for work he did while at UCL. Since 2011 the division has grown significantly. There are roughly 81 tutorial members of whom 34 are full professors, and numerous Honorary members of employees, together with Fellows of the Royal Society. The division additionally has roughly 28 Postdoctoral Analysis Fellows, round 102 PhD college students and 38 MSc college students. We additionally welcome a daily stream of distinguished visiting lecturers from dwelling and overseas. The broad vary of analysis pursuits is mirrored within the wide selection of programs obtainable within the third and fourth years of the diploma programmes, from spectral idea, teams and geometry to fluid mechanics and from mathematical concepts in biology to cosmology. Analysis funding within the division from EPSRC, ERC, Leverhulme Belief and the Wellcome Belief has grown considerably lately with a rise of 70% in complete funding since 2011.Concerning the position The division has internationally recognised analysis teams in pure and utilized evaluation, fluid mechanics, mathematical physics, geometry and topology, algebra, quantity idea and combinatorics, and mathematical modelling in biology, finance, business and society. Purposes are invited for 2 full-time Analysis Fellow positions to work with Dr Philip Pearce. The posts are funded by a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship entitled “Multiscale Modelling and Management of Delicate Organic Matter: Linking Biomolecular Interactions to Macroscopic Perform”. On this challenge, we’ll construct a theoretical framework to foretell how macroscopic properties and features emerge from molecular and mobile interactions in cell populations. Related organic techniques that we work on within the group embrace bacterial biofilms, Dictyostelium discoideum and most cancers cell migration. The postholders will concentrate on constructing cell-based and/or continuum fashions and simulations to foretell how macroscopic properties emerge from molecular and mobile interactions. There may be additionally a chance to work on coarse-grained molecular simulations relying on the curiosity of the postholders. The duties of the posts will embrace finishing up vigorous, high-level analysis into modelling cell populations, growing and operating code to mannequin organic techniques utilizing discrete and/or continuum strategies, and interfacing with different staff members and experimental collaborators. The posts can be found from 01 September 2024 or as quickly as attainable thereafter and are funded till thirtieth March 2026 within the first occasion, attributable to funding restrictions.About you Candidates ought to have PhD in Arithmetic, Physics, Biophysics, or related areas of Computational Biology or Chemistry.
