FW: Research studentship in computational biology

[David Morse]

           Research Studentship in Computational Biology


Applications are invited for a research council funded studentship which
forms part of an ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration between The
Open University and The Natural History Museum. The project aims to
build a model of species names, the relationships between them and how
the names and their relationships change through time.

The studentship will provide an opportunity to work in two world famous
institutions. It will give training, research and employment
opportunities in important and current research topics, in areas that
include: biodiversity, taxonomy and systematics in the biological
sciences, and knowledge representation and acquisition, advanced
database systems and object-oriented technology in computer science.

Ideally, candidates should have a background in computer science and
biology, however candidates with a strong background in one discipline
and some interest in the other will also be considered. Further
information may be obtained from Dr David Morse, Department of
Computing, Faculty of Mathematics & Computing, Open University, Walton
Hall, Milton Keynes, MK7 6AA or e-mail: D.R.Morse at open.ac.uk, phone:
01908 858463. For an application form and prospectus please phone
0870 900 0308 or e-mail CES-Gen at open.ac.uk. Please quote ref no. RD99F.

Please note that applicants for this studentships must satisfy BBSRC
eligibility rules regarding residency (see the BBSRC web site
http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/). This studentship attracts remuneration at a
higher than normal research council rate.

Applications should be submitted by 20th July 1999.
