The programme aims to facilitate discipline hopping into this area and we welcome undergraduates from biological and medical sciences, physical sciences, mathematics, statistics, engineering and computing. The course will enable you, whatever your first degree, to acquire the breadth of skills to undertake stimulating research using theoretical systems biology and bioinformatics to advance biological and clinical research. As a member of the programme you will join a large community at Imperial applying modelling to study biological and biomedical problems. > > > > The training programme > You will begin your studies by being registered on our highly-successful, year-long MSc in Bioinformatics and Theoretical Systems Biology. This course starts with training and you will acquire core biological, computational and mathematics skills and have lectures in bioinformatics and theoretical systems biology. This is followed by three different rotation projects which enable you to discover and experience different modelling methodologies and experimental laboratory environments. During the first year you will benefit from working with many other students studying for this MSc. The subsequent three PhD years will involve research developing novel theoretical methodologies and applying them to solve biological and biomedical problems. You will have two supervisors throughout your PhD – one theoretical and one experimental – to provide multidisciplinary training. You will have an opportunity to spend time with the experimental group so you understand the data-generating protocols and you can undertake laboratory work to test hypotheses generated from your modelling. We will offer you a wide range of research topics for your PhD as Imperial College has many vibrant research groups working in theoretical systems biology and bioinformatics and their application to bioscience and biomedical problems. > > Application Procedure > The next 4-year programme starts in October 2018. There are 5 fully funded places (stipend, fees and generous research support including travel) for home/EU students and there is one scholarship to provide the additional fees required for an exceptional overseas student. The stipend for 2017 will start at no less than £22,278 in year one, rising to at least £26,839 in year four. Deadline for receipt of applications is 23:00 GMT on Monday 4 December 2017.

[Compbio-allhands] Fwd: Looking For Fellows
by Tom Ferrin 14 Sep '18

14 Sep '18

-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Looking For Fellows Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2018 13:27:55 +0000 From: Murray, Andrew <awm(a)mcb.harvard.edu> To: Murray, Andrew <awm(a)mcb.harvard.edu> CC: Kefalas, Linda <lkefalas(a)mcb.harvard.edu> Dear Friends, Humblest apologies for the mass emailing and please let us know if you'd prefer not to receive these emails in the future. We are looking for John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows in the physical sciences, who will be appointed for three years and will form a small community of exciting young scientists both by interacting with each other and with their counterparts in the life sciences. If you're a life scientist, you're getting this email because you might have run into someone in the physical sciences who seems appropriate for this fellowship or know colleagues in the physical science who you could pass this request on to. Briefly, i) we are looking for bright and creative young scientists from across the full breadth of the physical sciences, including both theory and experiment, ii) we will give the successful applicant space for their research, principal investigator rights, and can provide some start up funding for experimentalists iii) each Fellow will have a formal affiliation with and participate in the intellectual life of one of the physical science departments, iv) the Fellows will be encouraged, but not obligated, to teach in small classes in areas that they find exciting, and v) the Fellow will be intensely mentored by participating in a weekly communal lab meeting, meeting monthly with the director of the fellows program, having their paper drafts and grant applications read and critiqued, and meeting with a three person mentoring committee twice a year. Our goal is to give the Fellows the time, space, and mentorship to do original and exciting science with a level of independence that is closer to that of a faculty member than that of a postdoc. More details follow at the end of this message. If you know anyone fabulous, please tell them to apply, and, if you've time, please let us know that you have. Details on how to apply are at:*/https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/8368/* The application deadline is*11:59pm EST, November 30, 2018*. Many, many thanks, Andrew *Information about the Fellows Program* The John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellow’s program is an initiative in Faculty of Arts and Sciences to recruit bright young scientists to work as independent researchers at Harvard. There are separate searches for Fellows in the physical and life sciences, but the Fellows appointed by these searches form a single intellectual community. The physical science Fellows are young, independent researchers usually straight out of their PhD who are appointed for three years. Each fellow has the support of a mentoring committee comprising of three faculty who are interested in the fellow's area of research. As fellows move on to faculty positions, we replace them with new fellows; this year we are looking to hire one or two new fellows. Because we strongly believe that solving exciting problems will require combining different approaches, we are particularly interested in recruiting fellows with broad scientific interests and a taste for collaboration. We strongly encourage applications from women and minority candidates. A description of the Fellows program, and information about the application procedure, is available on our website at*/https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram/* ** *ANDREW MURRAY* 617-496-1350 MCB, HARVARD UNIVERSITY 52 OXFORD STREET, NW 469.20 awm(a)mcb.harvard.edu CAMBRIDGE, MA 02138 *Lab Administrator*: Linda Kefalas (lkefalas(a)mcb.harvard.edu, 617-496-1350) *Lab Manager*: Beverly Neugeboren (bneugeb(a)mcb.harvard.edu, 617-496-1384 or 617-496-1489) *Lab website*: https://www.mcb.harvard.edu/directory/andrew-murray/ *John Harvard Distinguished Science Fellows website*: https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/jhdsfprogram
