The Atwal lab in the new Simons Center for Quantitative Biology (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory) invites applications from highly motivated candidates for a postdoctoral position working on cutting edge computational biology research.
We are looking for quantitative/computational scientists to work at the exciting interface of mathematics, single-cell genomics, and cancer biology, in close collaboration with experimentalists and clinicians. The postdoctoral scientist is expected to exhibit resourcefulness and independence, developing new statistical models of high-dimensional data and implementing computational pipelines.
Ph.D. level degree in the quantitative sciences (i.e., physics, mathematics or computer science). Candidates with a degree in the life sciences but with a proven quantitative research record will also be considered. Expertise in scientific programming, e.g. C, C++, Python, or R. Proficiency working in a Linux environment, with large data sets, computer clusters, and databases. Research publications in computational biology, machine learning or physics. The ideal candidate will have experience dealing with next-gen DNA sequencing data and/or cancer biology. Effective communication skills, both written and oral. Above all, a passion for solving difficult research problems at the frontier of computational biology.
Interested candidates should apply online at:
