Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.

In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist in Cellular Engineering at IBM Almaden Research Center

 

The Cellular Engineering laboratory at IBM Almaden Research Center is looking for a postdoctoral research scientist. The position is slated to begin immediately. The candidate is expected to apply advanced AI/ML and mathematical methods in cellular engineering and synthetic biology to understand biological systems and cellular dynamics.

 

The Cellular Engineering laboratory integrates multidisciplinary methods to understand the basic principles underlying cell functions in order to modify and build cells with designed activity. For this purpose, we have access to several IBM supercomputers, which are among the fastest in the world. The laboratory is part of the NSF Center for Cellular Construction in partnership with UC San Francisco, UC Berkeley, Stanford University, SF State University, and the SF Exploratorium. The overall goal of the Center is to develop an engineering discipline to design cells. The candidate will work in close collaboration with world known scientists.

 

Our focus is to leverage AI/ML methods for harnessing the power of cells and develop powerful predictive models of cellular structure and function. The candidate is expected to integrate and develop novel AI/ML algorithms to understand the basic principles underlying cell functions in order to modify and build cells with designed activity. The ideal candidate should have strong background in computational biology and modeling, biophysics, AI/ML methods for biological system analysis and cellular dynamics. Relevant areas of expertise might include direct application of machine learning methods to cellular systems.

 

Interested candidates should contact Sara Capponi, PhD, ([email protected]) with a brief statement of research interest/cover letter, a CV, and contact information of 2-3 references. Students in their final year of Ph.D. training are encouraged to apply.

 

 

Qualifications:

 

    • PhD in Computational Biology, Computational Biophysics, Physics, Bioengineering or related field.

    • Experience in chemistry, physics, engineering, computer science, computational biology, or related fields.

    • Experience in computational modeling methods.

    • Experience in machine learning, deep learning packages.

    • Proven experience with python programming.

    • Excellent English (oral and written) and good communication skills are necessary.
