Job Description:
The Computation and Informatics in Biology and Medicine (CIBM) Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has postdoctoral traineeship openings for researchers wishing to solve biomedical problems requiring strengths in both computational and biomedical sciences (http://www.cibm.wisc.edu). The focus of the CIBM Program encompasses translational bioinformatics, clinical research informatics, health / clinical informatics and dental informatics. The CIBM postdoctoral traineeships, funded by the NLM Grant 5T15LM007359, are designed for cross-disciplinary training. The 54 CIBM faculty span 14 different departments and five colleges at UW-Madison and include several faculty at the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation (located about 100 miles north of Madison).
In addition, the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Marshfield Clinic are currently recruiting trainees for its NIDCR/NLM-funded postdoctoral training program in dental informatics (Grant No. 5T15LM007359), in the CIBM Training Program.
The interplay between computational and statistical methods and the biomedical sciences continues to expand rapidly. Computational methods now play a key role in both biology and medicine, and our researchers have been developing novel, state-of-the-art algorithms for the analysis of molecular, clinical, and population-based data. Increasingly, questions in the biomedical sciences are being phrased for these more quantitative approaches, and computational scientists are developing new approaches in attempting to address biomedical problems. Furthermore, the power of new hardware, algorithms, and software is transforming our thinking about complex biomedical systems. These advances are only possible when computational scientists understand enough about the problems to design high-impact tools and when the clinical and biomedical scientists understand what is possible using computational technologies. The organizations involved in CIBM are exceptionally strong. UW has a total externally funded research portfolio of $1B/year and is a leading research university. A good fraction of this research is in the biomedical sciences and related areas.
The CIBM Training Program has a unique translational medicine component. CIBM is extending its prior collaboration with the Marshfield Clinical Research Foundation to also fully integrate the program with UW’s Institute for Clinical and Translational Research (ICTR). A strong training program and the environment at the University of Wisconsin in biology and computational sciences provides a rich setting for research training.
The postdoctoral trainees must be U.S. citizens or hold Permanent Resident status. For more information about the positions and application materials, please contact Louise Pape at lpape@wisc.edu or call 608-265-7935. General inquiries about the Dental Informatics program at Marshfield Clinic can be directed to Dixie Schroeder, 715-221-7266, schroeder.dixie@mcrf.mfldclin.edu .
