Vacancy

ERC-funded postdoc positions in mathematical biology, biophysics, and theory-led developmental biology

The Hiscock lab is hiring!

Postdoc positions (deadline 26 June): https://www.abdn.ac.uk/jobs/vacancies/IMS325R

Funded by an ERC Starting Grant, we are looking to recruit people with a strong quantitative background to work on some of the most fundamental problems in developmental biology. We welcome applications from theoretical/computational biologists, but also from applied mathematicians, (bio)physicists, and machine learning enthusiasts. We develop dynamical models (mainly PDEs) to understand the remarkable ways in which biological systems, especially embryos, self-organize into complex structures. We combine analytical theory with large-scale simulations – developing new theory and computational methods where required – and also collaborate closely with experimentalists from around the world. Positions have significant flexibility on start date. We are a curious, friendly and collaborative team based in the beautiful and affordable Northeast of Scotland, come join us! If you are interested to know more before applying, please get in touch with Tom directly: thomas.hiscock@abdn.ac.uk.
