Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Computational Modelling of Biological Systems (2 year FTA)
Improving Patient Outcome by Integrating the Generic with the Personal
University of Stirling -School of Natural Sciences
Job number: SCH00213
Location: Stirling Campus
Full time, Fixed Term Contract (expected dates 01/08/2013 - 31/07/2015)
Grade 6 £24,049 - £29,541
Closing date: 19 May 2013
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council-funded project Improving Patient Outcome by Integrating the Generic with the Personal, aims to develop a framework for mathematical and computational modelling which can capture the synergistic, spatio-temporal nature of an individual person and to use this to recommend and monitor healthcare interventions. The specific disease targetted in this project is glioma, or brain cancer. The PDRA will be part of a multidisciplinary team to develop new mathematical/computational models.
The PDRA at Stirling will model the dynamic aspects of cell response in cancer progress and treatment. An individual-based modelling approach will be used (specifically, process algebra).
For informal enquires, or to discuss how you might fit into our project, please contact the project principal investigator, Dr Carron Shankland (01786 467444, ces@cs.stir.ac.uk).
