英国伦敦数学科学研究所2020年招聘博士后

London Institute for Mathematical Sciences

Location:London

Salary:£42,000

Hours:Full Time

Contract Type:Fixed-Term/Contract

Placed On:20th May 2020

Expires:20th July 2020

The London Institute for Mathematical Sciences is hiring Postdoctoral Research Fellows in the theory of cell programming from physics, mathematics or machine learning. This follows a recent partnership with cell coding company Bit Bio on a moonshot mission to create every human cell type for use in biomedical research.

The postdoc positions are for one to three years, starting as soon as possible, with a gross salary of £42,000 per year. To apply, send a CV to at@lims.ac.uk.

The London Institute is assembling a team of theorists to decode the dynamics of cell identity. Postdocs will interact with a senior theorist being simultaneously recruited, Thomas Fink and Ton Coolen, as well as Bit Bio founder Mark Kotter. Postdocs will play a role in determining the theoretical lines of attack and in influencing experimental innovations at Bit Bio.

Candidates should have a PhD in physics or mathematics with experience in statistical physics, applied mathematics or theoretical machine learning. They will have a promising track record of research. Candidates should value collegiality and intellectual adventure and should write well.

The London Institute for Mathematical Sciences is a private academic institute for curiosity-driven research in physics, mathematics and the theoretical sciences. Funded by research agencies, foundations and firms, it gives scientists the freedom and support to make fundamental discoveries full-time.

Plausible approaches include, but are not limited to, the following:

Iterative data analysis and machine learning

High-dimensional and causal inference

Cell regulatory networks and neural networks

Cell subroutines and combinatorial innovation
