The Biological Computation Group at Microsoft Research is seeking to hire outstanding scientists to conduct research into uncovering fundamental principles of biological information processing, including research in one or more of the following areas: fundamentals of biological computation, immunology, developmental biology, synthetic biology, DNA computing and neuroscience. The overall aim of the group is to transform our understanding of how biological systems compute. The group is studying biological systems across multiple scales and scientific domains, ranging from DNA computing and synthetic biology, through to developmental biology and immunology, tackling fundamental scientific questions in each domain. Further information about the group is available at http://research.microsoft.com/biology , including links to software tools, which are freely available for use by the scientific community. Microsoft Research is seeking candidates with a strong research background in one of these areas, or a background in computer science, engineering, maths or physics and have applied their work in biological modelling. Candidates with an experimental background should be able to demonstrate strong computational or mathematical expertise. Postdoctoral positions are available for between two and three years, while permanent research positions are also available for more senior candidates.
