Job Description:

Lane Fellows In Computational Biology Carnegie Mellon University Lane Center for Computational Biology, School of Computer Science USA-PA-Pittsburgh
The Lane Center for Computational Biology is an academic department within the School of Computer Science. The Lane Fellow Program recognizes and supports scientists of outstanding intellect who are dedicated to a career at the interface of computational and biological sciences so that they can pursue postdoctoral research in the rich computational environment at Carnegie Mellon. Over the course of their fellowship, fellows are expected and encouraged to transition to independence by developing their own research program to take with them when they become independent investigators. Lane Fellows will be selected for a three year appointment beginning approximately July 1, 2015. They will receive a stipend of $65,000, benefits including medical, dental, vision and life insurance, and a professional support allocation of $3,000 to cover items such as purchase of a laptop computer, travel to conferences, membership in relevant professional societies, and journal subscriptions.
Candidates must have an outstanding record of research in computational biology or a related computational field. Absent special circumstances, candidates must have received their doctoral degree after August 1, 2011 or be expected to receive their degree by August 1, 2013.
