[Job-offers-cs] Postdoctoral Research Associate in Data-driven Modelling of Collective Cell Behaviour

[Pekka Orponen]

We invite applications for an outstanding postdoctoral research 
associate in data-driven modelling of collective cell behaviour to work 
with Professor Ruth Baker at the Mathematical Institute, University of 
Oxford. This is a 24-month, fixed-term position, funded by the Simons 
Foundation. The start-date for this position is flexible, but 
September-November 2026 is preferred.

The project will focus on combining theoretical and computational 
approaches (including data-driven mathematical models, tools for 
identifiability analysis and uncertainty quantification) to understand 
fundamental aspects of collective cell behaviours. Examples of topics 
studied in the Baker group include collective cell invasion, wound 
healing, and regenerative medicine. There will be the opportunity to 
work closely with experimental collaborators of the Baker Group.

The research undertaken in this role will be carried out under the 
Simons Foundation Grant "Simons Investigator Award" (MP-SIP-00001828). 
The postdoctoral researcher will be expected to conduct research both 
independently and collaboratively with other members of the group at 
Oxford and elsewhere. They are also expected to provide informal 
mentorship of doctoral students in the group. Candidates should have 
strong training in cross-disciplinary applied mathematics, with a 
demonstrated interest in biology, and experience in machine learning 
approaches is a plus.
