Research Assistant Position: Analysis of Microarray Data

Applications are invited from experienced postdoctoral Research Fellows to
work on a project  principally focussed on new methods for the analysis and 
interpretation of microarray datasets. This project will involve the design 
of new algorithms and data analysis techniques to improve inference in
medical diagnosis, predicted prognosis and fusion of data from different
sources. We will use a variety of methods including Bayesian techniques and 
graphical methods, kernel methods and other approaches. This project is
part of a large collaborative European Framework 6 consortium and will
involve interaction and visits to collaborating groups in the UK and visits 
to overseas groups in Norway, France, Israel and the US. On the
experimental side our collaborators are medical groups generating data for
cancer research and diseases of the brain and the Research Fellow should be 
willing to sometimes assist in the interpretation and analysis of datasets
generated by our collaborators.

The Research Fellow will be hosted by the Computational Intelligence
subgroup of the Artificial Intelligence Group within the Department of
Engineering Mathematics, Bristol University. Details about our group and
publications can be obtained from our website http://www.enm.bris.ac.uk/ai/
Applicants should have excellent mathematical and computational skills, and 
preferably a background in machine learning, statistics or bioinformatics.
