• ERC-funded postdoc and PhD positions in mathematical biology, biophysics, and theory-led developmental biology

  • When
    27 Jul 2025
  • Location
    University of Aberdeen

  The Hiscock lab is hiring!

  Postdoc positions (deadline 27 July): https://www.abdnjobs.co.uk/vacancy/research-fellow-588989.html.
  

  PhD positions: (deadline 6 July): https://www.findaphd.com/phds/project/fully-funded-phd-position-in-theoretical-developmental-biology-applying-tools-from-mathematics-physics-and-machine-learning-to-decipher-the-rules-of-embryonic-development/?p180147
  

  Funded by an ERC Starting Grant, we are looking to recruit people with a strong quantitative background to work on some of the most fundamental problems in developmental biology. We welcome applications from theoretical/computational biologists, but also from applied mathematicians, (bio)physicists, and computer programmers. We develop dynamical models (mainly PDEs) to understand the remarkable ways in which biological systems, especially embryos, self-organize into complex structures. We combine analytical theory with large-scale simulations – developing new theory and computational methods where required – and also collaborate closely with experimentalists from around the world.

  Positions are available at both PhD and postdoctoral levels with significant flexibility on start date; we will also provide in-depth mentorship for applications to independent fellowships. We are a curious, friendly and collaborative team based in the beautiful and affordable Northeast of Scotland, come join us!

  If you are interested to know more before applying, please get in touch with Tom directly: thomas.hiscock@abdn.ac.uk.
