The aim of the project is to theoretically model the evolution of gene regulation taking into account stochastic gene expression.

Theoretical modeling (analytical and numerical calculations, simulations) within the project's tasks:

• Study of the evolution of gene regulation in a static fitness landscape for the stochastic model of gene expression with a self-regulated regulatory gene
• Study of the evolution of gene regulation in a switching fitness landscape

Possibility of publication of research papers in recognized international journals. Possibility of preparing an M. Sc. thesis.

The successful candidate will be part of a highly experienced, multi-disciplinary team. She/He will have the possibility to broaden their knowledge and gain hands-on experience in research at the border between biology, physics, and applied mathematics.

Institute provides an opportunity to participate in ERASMUS+ programme.
