<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
<p><span>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.</span></p>
