Postdoctoral Fellow, Computational Biology

Description

We are seeking an outstanding postdoctoral researcher who can advance statistics and machine learning methods for computational biology in gene therapies and other oligonucleotide-based modalities. A qualified candidate is expected to have a research background in biostatistics and machine learning and be able to develop new algorithms for practical applications. The familiarity with computational biology is a plus. The role will report to the Simulation and Modeling Sciences group. We offer a supportive and collaborative environment for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research.

Role Responsibilities:
Develop and apply statistical and machine learning algorithms for multi-omics high-throughput datasets.
Write well-documented code individually and collaboratively within a high-performance scientific computing environment.
Effectively communicate the advantages and caveats of developed algorithms to internal audiences with diverse backgrounds.
Collaborate with computational and experimental scientists located at multiple locations.
Publish articles in top peer-reviewed journals and deliver scientific and technical presentations at internal and external venues.
