Description :

We are looking for a researcher, whose expertise lies in mathematical modelling and statistical analysis of metabolic pathways to work with Dr Simon Preston and Prof Vicky Chapman on a Versus Arthritis- funded project entitled “Harnessing the potential of 17HDHA as a novel biomarker of OA pain status”.  The central aim of the project is to understand the analgesic effects of the resolving and their potential to be novel biomarkers of osteoarthritis pain.

We believe that talented and inclusive teams deliver the highest quality research and are seeking applications from high quality candidates who enhance the diversity of our existing team.  The School is committed to creating opportunities for people traditionally under-represented in Mathematical Sciences.

You will be able to carry out duties to the highest standard and to evidence how through your experience you will:

Undertake original research of international excellence.Develop research objectives and proposals for own and/or collaborative research area.Prepare papers for publication in leading journals and/or contribute to the dissemination at national/international conferences, workshops and meetings resulting in successful research outputs.Identify opportunities and assist in writing bids for research grant applications. Prepare proposals and applications to both external and/or internal bodies for funding, contractual or accreditation purposes.

We are looking for a confident, organised researcher who can evidence:

A PhD, or equivalent in mathematics or a relevant branch of mathematics.Expert knowledge of mathematical biology especially modelling inflammatory systems and soft tissue damage.Expertise inModelling biological systems using ordinary differential equations, specifically enzymatic pathwaysAnalysing lipidomic data, specifically for pathway and network analysis.Excellent communication and organisational skills.The ability to work independently and as part of a multidisciplinary and multicultural team.Networking, actively engaging with and valuing other areas and diverse groups.

This part-time position (14.5 hours per week) is available immediately and will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 12 months.
