  • Organization: University of Oxford
Dear all,

We are looking for a full time postdoctoral researcher to work in the area of cardiac modelling. This is a fixed term position for up to 3 years with a start date of 1 April 2017, or by latest 1 July 2017. The 3 year project is a collaboration between the Computational Biology Group at Oxford (where this role will be based) and the Research Software Development Group (RSDG) at University College London (UCL). This BBSRC-funded project will demonstrate that by focusing on the reproducible development of mathematical and computational models, we can greatly improve the utility of the models that are produced and hence the rate of progress in systems biology. The result will be a community resource for cardiac researchers that will allow them to develop, reproduce, and compare mathematical models of cardiac cell electrophysiology with full confidence in the phylogeny and robustness of those models.

You will primarily be responsible for: enhancing our existing implementations of Bayesian parameter fitting methods, incorporating these within the Web Lab (https://chaste.cs.ox.ac.uk/WebLab) framework, and applying them to the cardiac case studies. These case studies will encode all the data and fitting algorithms necessary to derive a model’s parameters (and in some cases structure), enabling the process to be repeated. This will include work on model comparison and selection techniques, uncertainty propagation, and efficient algorithm implementation in concert with the RSDG. The role will also require engagement with the cardiac modelling community to promote use of the tools, train users through annual workshops, and solicit their feedback.

The ideal candidate will have: a PhD (or be very close to completion) in a relevant area of science or related discipline, extensive proficiency in scientific programming in Python, a documented track record of the ability to conduct and complete research projects in the area of statistical / computational modelling of complex systems, and the ability to work effectively as part of a team. It is desirable to have experience of parameter estimation and model selection techniques, especially MCMC or Approximate Bayesian Computation.

Informal enquiries can be made to
gary.mirams AT cs.ox.ac.uk
.

*The closing date for applications is 12 noon on 23 February 2017. Interviews will be held on 3 March 2017. *

For more details and to apply see http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/news/1244-full.html

Best wishes,
Jonathan
