Job Description:
The Flatiron Research Fellow will report to the project leader for computational statistics. The Flatiron Research Fellow will be responsible for the development of methods and software for a variety of problems in optimization, statistics and statistical ecology, including high-dimensional statistical estimation and (ecological) network inference. A primary application area will be modeling and analysis of ocean microbial ecosystems. This position will be based and have a principle office or workspace at the foundation. MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: Education: Ph.D. in (bio)statistics, computational biology, computer science, mathematics, physics, engineering or a related field Experience: At least one year of experience in computational science
Additional Info:
The primary mission of the Center for Computational Biology is to create new computational frameworks that will enable scientists to analyze the large and complex data sets that are being generated by new experimental technologies. Tremendous opportunities for discovery are emerging in the biological and biomedical sciences, as well as in traditional physical and social sciences, but they will require the combined power of theory, data analysis and simulation. In the biomedical sciences, for example, researchers are being confronted by an explosion of information from genome sequencing, gene expression profiling, proteomics, multi-electrode recording and multiple high-resolution imaging modalities. The focus remains on problems arising in biophysical modeling, genomics, neuroscience and structural biology, collaborating closely with experimental colleagues. The Simons Foundation is an Equal Opportunity Employer, M/F/D/V.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
