Field: Biological sciences

Requirements:

• Enthusiasm for working at the physical/life science interface
• PhD or anticipated PhD, in physical or life sciences (e.g. theoretical physics, applied mathematics, theoretical biology)

Abstract:

Applications are invited for two postdoctoral positions in the group of Prof Timothy Newman. Prof Newman recently moved to the University of Dundee from Arizona State University. He is building a new group of theoretical and computational systems biology research which will be housed within the world-class College of Life Sciences complex at the University of Dundee. The Newman group works closely with biologists on projects spanning molecular to tissue scales, in both basic research and biomedical application. The postdoctoral positions to be filled have various funding sources, allowing some latitude in projects, but the main focus will be on using computational modelling techniques to understand cell dynamics during embryonic development.

Description:

Division of Cell and Developmental Biology
Grade 7 (£29,099 - £35,788)

Computational and theoretical approaches to cell and developmental dynamics
 
Additional Information:
The positions are available for 2 years, starting immediately.

The Newman group does not have a detailed website due to the recent relocation, but some information on our research interests can be found here:
