ISCB Job Board

Postdoc--Cancer Systems Biology—Modeling Stochastic Brain Tumor Cell FatesIcahn School of Medicine at Mount SinaiPharmacology and Systems TherapeuticsUSA-NY-New York A postdoctoral position is available in The Birtwistle Lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Mount Sinai is a top 20 research institution and offers an excellent training environment in a vibrant medical community and city. You will join a lab that combines experimental molecular and cell biology with computational modeling to study the systems biology of brain tumors. See the lab website for more details (http://www.mssm.edu/research/labs/birtwistle-laboratory/). This project is funded by an NIH grant (R01 GM104184) in Year 2 of 5.

The particular focus of this role would be using a wide array of single-cell signaling data from flow cytometry, mass cytometry, and live-cell imaging assays to build and validate stochastic differential equation models that capture cell-to-cell heterogeneity in the spatiotemporal dynamics of proliferation signaling. Emphasis is on understanding and predicting how signaling and gene expression noise influences phenotypic variability of proliferation responses to growth factors. High performance computing and C language experience is preferred. Experience in MATLAB, background in biological research, and training in dynamical modeling are also desirable. The successful applicant will have ample opportunity, if desired, to receive cross-disciplinary training in wet cell and molecular biology. A Ph.D in a relevant discipline is required.

Interested candidates should send a CV along with the names and contact info for at least three references to marc.birtwistle@mssm.edu. Pay will be based on the NIH scale for postdocs and commensurate with experience. Convenient, subsidized postdoctoral fellow housing is available.
