Postdoc position (20+ months): Modeling trypanosome infection, University of Glasgow, UK
We are seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join an innovative
project funded by the Wellcome Trust, investigating trypanosome antigenic
variation paradigms using natural systems. An interdisciplinary
collaboration between Universities of Glasgow, Edinburgh and Liverpool, the
post-holder will be working with Prof Christina Cobbold within the School of
Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Glasgow (UK) collaborating
closely with experimentalists to develop novel mathematical models of
antigenic variation.
With experience of working in a multidisciplinary environment, the postdoc will
be developing novel mathematical models and tools to uncover the dynamics of
antigenic variation from sequence data and other parasite and immune data
sampled over time. This exciting project will yield new insights into the
biological interactions between trypanosome parasites and their human and
animal hosts information that we anticipate could be exploited to help
combat the parasite and may be relevant for other pathogens that use
antigenic variation for survival.
Application deadline is August 10th 2021
