Job Description:
A postdoctoral position in the field of Computational / Systems Biology is available for a passionate and motivated individual in the group of Dr. André Leier at the Informatics Institute, University of Alabama at Birmingham. The successful candidate will perform original research in quantitative modeling of membrane-localized protein complex formation, receptor-lipid and lipid-lipid interactions, and other associated processes, integrating experimental data from different sources. Appointment will be for one year with the possibility of extension (on a yearly basis, up to 2-3 years) contingent on satisfactory performance. Competitive salary (with benefits) will follow NIH guidelines commensurate with training and experience. Applicants must have a PhD in Computer Science, Biophysics, Applied Mathematics, Bioengineering, Computational/Mathematical Biology, Systems Biology or equivalent field with a general background in quantitative biology. Programming (C++, Matlab, R, and/or Python) and mathematical/analytic skills are expected. Previous experience in modeling of biological processes is a must. Ideally, the candidate has additional background in membrane-associated biophysical processes and/or experience with handling experimental data such as those stemming from super resolution microscopy (e.g. STORM), single-molecule tracking/TIRF, EM, FRET, Split Luciferase Compensation Assays, etc. Also, familiarity with one or more of the following areas would be advantageous: multi-scale (biophysical) models, PDEs, spatiotemporal models, stochastic simulations, molecular modeling, and algorithm development. It is expected that the candidate is able to understand the experimental data, to subsequently generate and implement computational tools and models for analysis and prediction. The candidate has to be collegiate and able to communicate well with scientists from diverse backgrounds.
Additional Info:
To apply, please send: (a) a cover letter including a brief statement explaining fit, motivation and interest in the open position, summarizing past research and outlining career goals, (b) a CV including a full list of publications and names and contact details of three references (with institutional mail/email addresses), and (c) one sample authored publication/manuscript by email in one single PDF file to André Leier, aleier (at) uabmc.edu. Referees of short-listed candidates will be contacted directly. While the start date is negotiable, screening of applications will start immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
