Connectionists: Fully funded postdoctoral position in Machine Learning and Computational Biology at Royal Holloway University of London

[Alberto Paccanaro]

[Apologies for cross-posting]

Applications are invited for a postdoctoral position at the Department 
of Computer Science of Royal Holloway, University of London.

The successful candidates will work with Prof Alberto Paccanaro on 
different projects in the area of Systems Biology and Network Medicine 
-- please see http://www.paccanarolab.org/ for a description of the 
research carried out in the lab. Candidates should have a PhD degree in 
a relevant quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Statistics, 
Engineering), a strong background in machine learning and a keen 
interest in computational biology. Previous experience in the area of 
graphical models would be an asset for this position.

The successful candidates will have the opportunity to collaborate with 
members of the interdisciplinary Centre for Systems and Synthetic 
Biology (Computer Science and Biological Sciences) at Royal Holloway and 
collaborators at Imperial College, University of Tennessee and Yale 
University. The post is therefore ideal for someone with a computer 
science or maths background who is looking to move into computational 
biology.

The Department of Computer Science is located on Royal Holloway's 
pleasant campus (see http://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/), in Egham, just 
outside London.

The position is for 30 months, full-time, beginning in the Spring 2016. 
The starting salary will be up to 37,743 GBP p.a. (about 57,000 USD), 
with annual increments. The position is funded by a joint BBSRC/NSF grant.

Applicants should send a CV including a list of publications, a 
statement of research interests, and contact information of 3 referees 
electronically to alberto at cs.rhul.ac.uk

If you wish to discuss details of the position, please contact Alberto 
Paccanaro at the same address.
