PhD studentships and research jobs available at each partner institution will be listed here when applications are open. If you would like to discuss positions in further detail, please contact the partners directly.
Research Assistant/Associate in Computational Biology (Fixed Term)
Applications are invited for a Research Associate (RA) position in the group of Professor Henrik Jönsson at the Sainsbury Laboratory, Cambridge University, to carry out fundamental research in the field of Computational Morphodynamics in plants. The work will be within the ERC-funded project RESYDE with the aim of building a virtual flower using multi-level data and computational modelling to be used to design and re-engineer flower architecture.
The RA’s main focus will be on computational modelling of gene regulatory networks for predicting the mechanisms leading to symmetry breaks in the patterning process. A hybrid modelling approach integrating the dynamics of a core network while utilising a virtual template from experiments for cellular growth and division will be used. AI methods for generating regulatory hypotheses between genes, hormones and physical properties will also be developed.
The post is available immediately. Closing date: 10 August 2025. Please note that applications will be reviewed periodically and this recruitment may be closed early if a suitable candidate has been found. We would therefore advise that applications are submitted as soon as possible.
