We are currently recruiting a new team member to undertake a 4-year PhD studentship in our computational biology lab. Your research will focus on uncovering the mechanism of action of currently used anti-malarial drugs by mapping DNA damage and genome replication with artificial intelligence and long-read DNA sequencing. This project will be highly collaborative with Professor Catherine Merrick’s parasitology laboratory and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to learn, or improve upon, software engineering in Python/C/C++, GPU computing, deep learning with TensorFlow, the design of artificial neural networks, and the processing and management of large datasets. Interested candidates are welcome to contact Michael Boemo (mb915@cam.ac.uk) for an informal discussion to find out more about the research project, the lab, and the exciting research environment that the University of Cambridge can offer. Please note that due to restrictions by the funder, this studentship is only open to candidates who qualify for home fee status.
