Departments of Statistics and Gerontology NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY POSTDOCTORAL RESEARCH POSITION IN STATISTICAL BIOINFORMATICS A three year post-doctoral position is available to work on an exciting problem at the interface between molecular genomics and biostatistics. The project is to develop stochastic models that will help in understanding how genes are regulated in living cells and how intrinsic stochastic variation can affect this regulation. It is funded by the BBSRC/EPSRC Bioinformatics Initiative. The successful applicant will join an interdisciplinary team of researchers (Dr Richard Boys, Prof Tom Kirkwood and Dr Darren Wilkinson). A detailed description can be found on the project web page: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/statistics/bioinformatics/networks.html Applicants should have (or be near to completing) a PhD in Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Computational Biology or a related discipline. Knowledge of both Bayesian statistics and genetics would be advantageous but is not required. The post is a joint appointment between the Department of Statistics and the Department of Gerontology at Newcastle University. The appointee will be based primarily in the Department of Statistics and will join active research groups in Bayesian statistics and statistical bioinformatics. Further information regarding this position can be obtained from the web page: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/statistics/bioinformatics/job.html which includes details of the application procedure. Informal enquiries and applications should be directed to Richard Boys Tel : +44 (0)191 222 7297 (direct line), Fax: +44 (0)191 222 8020, Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Depending on experience and qualifications, salary will be on the RA1A scale: GBP 16,775 - GBP 25,213 per annum.
