Job Summary
This role offers an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated computational biologist to join a multidisciplinary research team investigating plant–pathogen interactions through integrative computational modelling.
You will develop and apply quantitative and data-driven models to study protein interactions and their context-dependent behaviour, linking computational predictions with condition-specific biological responses.
The successful applicant will demonstrate clear potential to become a leader in their field, with a strong research trajectory focused on computational modelling of molecular interactions and regulatory processes to generate mechanistic insight into host–pathogen biology.
