Two postdoctoral positions are available for talented and highly motivated individuals interested in joining our multidisciplinary team at UC San Diego/San Diego Supercomputer Center.
Postdoctoral Fellow: 3D Visualization and Analysis
Develop innovative scientific visualization and analysis tools for 3D biomolecular structures to help accelerate research in biology, medicine, and related disciplines. Your work will extend Mol* and MolQL to reach a wide audience when deployed as interactive features.
Areas of focus include:
Innovative representations for 3D structural data from integrative/hybrid methods
Visualizations for comparative analyses of molecular structures and sequences
GPU acceleration of analysis and visualization algorithms
Multiscale rendering and data delivery for exploring large structures/complexes
Requirements
PhD: Structural Bioinformatics or related field with a focus on software development or
PhD: Computer Science with a focus on scientific visualization and/or biology
Demonstrated proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript as a general-purpose programming language and experience with state-of-the-art software development. Strong skills in problem solving and algorithm design are required. High productivity and independence demonstrated by publications and contributions to open source software projects is a plus. Experience in the development of modern web applications, user interface design, or scientific visualization is a plus. Experience with writing GPU shaders a plus. Good written and oral communication skills.
Postdoctoral Fellow: Bioassembly/Machine Learning
Improve the representation and findability of biological assemblies in the PDB, using innovative algorithms to build the next generation search engine for molecular biology.
Areas of focus include:
Machine learning
Efficient search algorithms
Scalability of solutions across large datasets
Requirements
PhD: Computer Science with a focus on bioinformatics or machine learning or
PhD: Structural Bioinformatics or Biology, or related field with a focus on software development
Demonstrated proficiency in a high-level programming language, such as Java, Python, C++ and experience with state of the art software engineering tools. Strong skills in problem solving and algorithm design are required. A background in NoSQL database technologies would be beneficial. Experience in the development of modern web applications, user interface design, or scientific visualization is a plus. We expect candidates to have shown high productivity demonstrated by publications and contributions to open source software projects. Excellent written and oral communication skills are required.
