I would like to advertise a fully funded 3.5-year PhD position at the University of Southampton to work on an interdisciplinary project titled “Topological simplification of single cell data” under the supervision of Professor Ben MacArthur, Professor Ruben Sanchez-Garcia, and myself. The aim of the project is to use topological data analysis to simplify the complex dynamics of single cell data and identify combinations of genes that oscillate in a coordinated manner. The position is co-funded by the Institute for Life Sciences and the School of Mathematical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
We welcome applications from candidates with a background and/or interest in (applied) algebraic topology or topological data analysis and who are keen to contribute to exciting interdisciplinary research at the interface of Mathematics and Biological Sciences.
To apply for the position, please follow the link below and indicate my name and the project title:
