Applications are invited for a Readership or Chair in Computational Physiology in the Faculty of Life Sciences. The position will be based in the Research Department of Neuroscience Physiology and Pharmacology (NPP) in the Division of Biosciences. The successful candidate will be required to establish and lead a new academic research group in this field. UCL has recently embarked on an ambitious strategy to enhance its capabilities in computational life and medical sciences by establishing the UCL Computational Life & Medical Sciences Network (http://www.clms.ucl.ac.uk/).
As part of this new strategy, we intend to make several appointments. The first of these will be at Readership/Professor level and will require an individual with an outstanding track record in Computational Physiology. This area is critical to many ongoing projects in research, undergraduate teaching and postgraduate training at UCL. We have been expanding research activity in this area inter alia via the co-ordinating role in EU/FP7 Virtual Physiological Human and CoMPLEX, a multi-disciplinary PhD Programme part-funded by the British Heart Foundation.
We expect the successful candidate to develop interdisciplinary research across Faculties, externally and with UCL Partners, linking computational and physiological sciences. Individuals with expertise in computational aspects of any branch of systems physiology, including neurophysiology, a major research strength of the Department, are encouraged to apply. A strong publication record in international journals and an ability to attract funding from research councils and charities is essential.
