MARIE CURIE PHD ON COMPUTATIONAL EMBRYOGENESIS:

"Mechanogenetic modelling of embryogenesis driven by empirical evidence from 4D microscopy images"

** CLOSING DATE: 19 May 2017 **

Manchester Metropolitan University is recruiting a 3-year PhD student on a project at the interface between computer science and biology. Its goal is to understand the self-organised dynamics of vertebrate development by integrating cell biomechanics with genetic regulation into a unified agent-based model. This will pursue and expand the computing effort undertaken in the MecaGen platform (see http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms13929). Good programming skills are required.

This position is funded the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Innovative Training  Network (ITN) "ImageInLife", part of the Horizon 2020 Excellent Science pillar of the European Commission: http://imageinlife.eu -- EC mobility rules impose that candidates must not have been resident in the country of the PhD (here, the UK) more than 12 months over the past 3 years (by the start date on Sept 25, 2017).

Prof. Rene Doursat is available for questions and informal Skype meetings with interested candidates, if they wish, before applying: r.doursat at mmu.ac.uk
