which create biological variation and have a long term effect on the health 
of
 individuals across the lifespan. 

The position is funded by the EU Marie Curie EpiHealthnet. The candidate 
will collaborate with Epihealthnet members/labs in several European 
countries who will provide knowledge and high quality data on different 
model diseases.

Good knowledge in Computer Science AND/OR Mathematics AND/OR Bioinformatics 
and good programming skills (R, C/C++, Java) are important.

Marie Curie funding is intended to promote mobility of early career 
researchers within the research community; candidates are only eligible for 
this post if they have not been resident within the UK for more than 12
