The Swain laboratory is looking for a high-calibre researcher with a proven ability to produce quality publications and a developing track record in innovative research. Previous experience of the molecular biology of budding yeast and mathematical modelling would be an advantage. You will be based in the SynthSys, the University’s Centre for Synthetic and Systems Biology, but the project is a collaboration with Dr Vahid Shahrezaei at the Department of Mathematics, Imperial College London, and you will spend at least a month at Imperial.
