This project is funded by The Humane Research Trust CIO, Stockport, UK. It is two-year, fixed-term post-doctoral research assistant position available in the Chemoinformatics Research Group in the School of Pharmacy and Biomolecular Sciences, Liverpool John Moores University.

The project will involve identifying relevant PBK models from the literature, using systematic review. Key information from the models will be curated in order to expand an existing database of physiologically-based kinetic (PBK) models. Methods used to parameterise and evaluate published models will be investigated. The project aims to optimise parameterisation of PBK models using in silico (computational) methods and to assess the predictivity of such models, by comparison to existing data. Best practice in building PBK models, using parameters derived from in silico methods will be identified and used to develop guidance. You will be expected to transfer and disseminate knowledge (internally and externally) and to assist in the management and reporting of the project.

You should have, or expect to obtain soon, a PhD in the field of Physiologically-Based (Pharmaco)Kinetic (PBK/PBPK) Modelling.

Applications are invited for a graduate research assistant position on a mixed-methods research project focused on suicide prevention in Cumberland. Cumberland Council are embarking on the preparation of a new suicide prevention strategic plan. However, before they begin, they are seeking to understand the lived experience and causality that sits behind the loss of life to suicide in Cumberland, in order to give them the best chance of identifying the interventions that could make a difference.
