This exciting position in computational biology combines the development of novel computational methods involving control theory with practical systems modelling, simulation, and data analysis, applied first and foremost to the field of platelet biology and haemostasis.

The postholder will play a key role in a project that will develop novel computational means for the objective evaluation of purpose in biology. These theoretical efforts are paired with a bespoke experimental programme focusing on cell communication and coordination, which innovatively considers thrombi as “transient tissues”. (Candidates without prior exposure to cell biology, and specifically platelet biology and haemostasis, are expected to rapidly acquire the necessary domain knowledge and be interested in building a career in the field.)

The postholder will work closely with the experimental team in the School of Biological Sciences and the Reading School of Pharmacy, which will include a second PDRA starting on the project at the same time.
