Research Fellow
University of Edinburgh
The Centre for Medical Informatics at the Usher Institute within The University of Edinburgh is looking for a non-clinical Post-doctoral Research Fellow to conduct original research, focusing on the development and application of data analytics methods to process multimodal data to provide clinically useful insights into bipolar disorders. This is part of the £3m 5-year Wellcome Trust Programme Grant, “Ambient and passive collection of sleep and circadian rhythm data in bipolar disorder to understand symptom trajectories and clinical outcomes (AMBIENT-BD)”, https://www.ambientbd.com/).​

Funded PhD SWBio DTP
University of Bristol
CircadiAgeing: Clock excitability, circadian rhythms and healthy ageing. A 4-year fully funded PhD Studentship, exploring how the clock works as a whole spanning multiple levels from mathematical models to whole organisms across their lifetime, thereby identifying evolutionary conserved interventions to rejuvenate rhythms improving health during ageing. The successful candidate will help determine the conserved components and mechanisms of the membrane clock and how it ages. Deciphering the membrane clock is important because it is composed of receptors/channels which are the first/third biggest targets for therapeutic drugs, thereby generating knowledge facilitating the development of chronotherapies for ageing.​
