Candidates are invited to apply to complete a PhD in one of these areas.
To apply candidates should submit a CV and a one page statement of their research interests. Shortlisted applicants will be interviewed and, if successful, invited to work up a research proposal with a leading Farr Institute academic with a view to starting the PhD in October 2016.
Applicants should possess a good first degree in a relevant discipline and an MSc or substantial experience in computer science, statistics, research methods or bioinformatics.
