Research Fellow
18,893 to 28,279 per annum (Fixed Term Appointment)

Applications are invited for an experienced postdoctoral research fellow to 
work as part of a large collaborative activity on exploiting an individuals' 
`bioprofile' for improved healthcare management. We are particularly 
interested in the improved inference capabilities for diagnosis, prognosis 
and clinical decision making of exploiting the fusion of disparate 
information sources. The research project will also involve looking at 
developing automated strategies which account for uncertainties in data, 
models and architectures. This research activity is part of a large 
collaborative European FP6 consortium (BioPattern) and will require strong 
interaction and a degree of travel amongst various partners who are involved 
in the consortium.

Applicants should have excellent mathematical and computational skills, and 
preferably a background in statistical inference, medical bioinformatics, 
machine learning, or data fusion. 

This contract is offered as a fixed term contract with an end date of 31 
December 2006 in the first instance.
