   Salary: Up to 30k British Pounds.

   A post-doctoral research position (Lecturer or Senior Lecturer grade)
   is available to support further development of an interactive tool for
   visualizing and simulating the behaviour of multi-cellular biochemical
   networks. The project is funded by the Wellcome Trust, and involves
   restructuring the existing NetBuilder program, and design and
   development of new modules to extend the use of the software. Details
   of the research in the Biocomputation, Algorithms, and Adaptive
   Systems Research Groups are featured on the STRI website,
   http://perseus.herts.ac.uk/uhinfo/research/stri/, and information on
   NetBuilder is found on http://strc.herts.ac.uk/bio/maria/NetBuilder/.

   The post is available for two years from January 2005.

   A successful candidate will have a background in
   Biochemistry/Molecular Biology and/or Computer Science, a PhD or
   equivalent experience in an appropriate field, as well as strong
   programming skills and experience with at least one of the following
   languages: C/C++, Python, Java, XML/XSLT. Advantageous would be
   previous experience with mathematical modelling of biochemical
   systems, bioinformatics, software design and version control, web
   development, or a further background in theoretical/evolutionary
   biology and systems biology/artificial life.

   We seek someone who can, as part of a team, think and work
   independently, who is committed to doing high-quality research, and
   can demonstrate excellent communication and scientific writing skills
   in English.
