    RESPONSIBILITIES

    We are currently seeking a post-doctoral fellow for a position in the Center for Computational Proteomics within the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences. The successful applicant will be engaged in multiple lines of computational biology/informatics, including but not limited to structural modeling, functional predictions, and deep evolutionary analyses of highly divergent sequences. A portion of the proposed work entails creating new applications for BLAST algorithms for the study of protein structure, function, and evolution. Using a System’s Biology approach, we are exploring a diverse set of physiological/pathophysiological systems such as respiratory syncytial virus, hepatitis, and sensory perception as well as basic science questions related to ion channels and signal transduction pathways. Experimental systems are available to validate computational predictions.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • The ideal candidate will have a excellent communication skills, a background in computer science, a working knowledge of biology, and a desire to take part in interdisciplinary science.
    • We are interested in candidates that enjoy working both independently and collaboratively within and across universities.
    • Computer languages currently used in the lab include C++, Java, and Python.

    COMPENSATION

    Salary is commensurate with experience.
