The Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB) at the University of Manchester has been awarded £6.4M by the BBSRC and EPSRC to pioneer the development of new experimental and computational technologies in Systems Biology, and their exploitation.

The MCISB is intended to provide a hub for cutting-edge systems biology research in the Manchester area, acting as a focal point for the creation of the necessary ideas and infrastructure, and for establishing new methods and routines.

It is centred on the second floor of the Manchester Interdisciplinary Biocentre (MIB).

We wish to appoint two Professors in Systems Biology to augment our current world-leading expertise in this area. The two new Professors will become members of the leadership of the existing Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology as well as of the Doctoral Training Centre for Integrative Systems Biology from Molecules to Life. We are seeking individuals of outstanding scientific quality, who should further enhance Systems Biology at the University, contributing expertise complementary to and synergizing with that already available. Candidates should be internationally recognized as leading scientist in Systems Biology, with an inspiring view of the future of that field and of Science in general, and with experience with, and considerable appreciation of the integration of modelling and experimentation.
