Fully funded PhD position in Computational Biology

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

Candidates should have an MSc degree or equivalent in a relevant quantitative field (e.g. Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering), excellent programming skills, and a keen interest in computational biology.

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), including: Laci Bögre, Alessandra Devoto, Peter Bramley, Paul Fraser, Enrique Lopez and Paul Devlin. The posts are therefore ideal for people with a computer science or maths background who are looking to move into computational biology.

The PhD position is full-time for the whole duration of the program (3 years), starting in autumn 2010. Please note that the funding is available to EU nationals only.

Informal enquiries may be directed to Dr Alberto Paccanaro (email: albertocsrhulacuk ; tel: +44-1784-414239). Prospective applicants should email their CV to Dr Alberto Paccanaro.

We positively welcome applications from all sections of the community.
