Computational approaches to identifying biomarkers and therapeutics for human aging - Ref: ASUF2518

Loughborough University in partnership with BioAge Labs is offering an industry PhD position under the supervision of Prof. Alexandra Stolzing. The position is available for a three-year appointment.

In cooperation with bioinformaticists and biologists, the PhD candidate will develop computational and systems biology methods that combine multiple omics datasets to identify biological pathways that impact human aging.

We offer:
- Education in computational and molecular biology
- State-of-the-art technologies and infrastructure (e.g. bioinformatics, HT drug screening)
- International, multidisciplinary, fast-paced startup environment

Interested candidates please send a cover letter with research interests, CV, and a list of 3 references
