    BACKGROUND

    Columbia University Medical Center:
    The Program for Mathematical Genomics group (https://systemsbiology.columbia.edu/the-program-for-mathematical-genomics) is a cross campus interdisciplinary effort that brings together evolutionary biologists, computer scientists, physicists and mathematicians, to uncover the structure of genomic data and to study the maps that link genotype to phenotype. It constitutes a space for the free exchange of ideas and methods of quantitative minded scientists with a goal to provide a quantitative understanding of biological systems. We collaborate with clinicians and public health researchers from around the world to explore several disease systems, including the genetics and epidemiology of infectious diseases and cancer, as well as modeling microbial metabolism, and protein structure and function prediction based on large scale machine learning. We are building a vibrant community of researchers who use insights and techniques to solve pressing biomedical problems.

    We are now seeking postdoctoral researchers to join a creative team in a collaborative environment developing mathematical techniques for the analysis of high-dimensional, high-throughput sequencing and biological data.

    Applications from women and underrepresented minorities are highly encouraged.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • PhD degree in any quantitative science (preferably mathematics, computer science, physics, astrophysics, computational biology, statistics, or engineering) is required.
    • Candidates should have a working knowledge of programming (Python, R, Java or C++) and statistical analysis with demonstrated experience in problem solving.
    • Practical knowledge of algorithms and databases is required.
    • Excellent organizational and communication skills are a must.

    PREFERENCES

    • Expertise in high-throughput sequencing technologies is highly valued.
    • Experience with clinical data from large biobanks is also highly valued.
