apply their skills to one of the fastest growing and most exciting
areas of modern biology.

The successful candidate will work primarily at Rhône-Poulenc
Rorer's site near London and liaise extensively with
experimentalists. He/she will be part of a large multidisciplinary
team involving biologists and bioinformaticians that is applying and
developing state of the art mathematical and computational methods for
biologically relevant problems.

The ideal candidate would have excellent communication skills, a
mathematical background, preferably in areas such as multivariate
statistical analysis and pattern recognition, and a strong interest in
molecular biology.
