Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
About the Project
We are looking for someone who likes to work complex datasets, to visualise them, and to understand what they mean. If you have a knack for quantitative data analysis and good coding skills and would like to learn more biology, we want to hear from you.
We use large high-resolution datasets to understand the basic structure of behaviour in worms and humans. The goal is to identify the most informative features for genetic association studies and whole-animal drug screens. This position would give you access to rich datasets that are an ideal testbed for developing new methods for behaviour analytics with real biological impact. You will also work closely with experimentalists to put your methods into practice and follow leads that come out of analysis work.
Previous experience with Python and OpenCV is desirable. Experience with machine learning (including deep learning), image analysis, and tracking would also be an asset.
The Behavioural Genomics lab is a friendly interdisciplinary team headed by Dr André Brown in the Integrative Biology section of the LMS. For more information, see the group’s website at http://behave.lms.mrc.ac.uk/.
