Job Description:
The Levin lab at Tufts University (www.drmichaellevin.org) has an open post-doctoral research fellow position, at the boundary of regenerative biology and computation.
This project involves applying techniques from the information sciences (including Artificial Life, Computational Neuroscience, etc.) to the understanding of complex biological pattern formation during embryogenesis and organ regeneration. We are looking for someone with strong experience in areas such as connectionist models (PDP, Kohonen nets, deep networks) and other formalisms from cybernetics, group cognition, and unconventional computing. The goal will be to develop new ways to model the information processing that occurs during multicellular pattern regulation by applying techniques that the information sciences use to understand memory, decision-making, representation, category inference, and goal-directed behavior. This is a very out-of-the-box, multi-disciplinary project that aims to go beyond the state of the art and establish a new quantitative approach to regulative morphogenesis.
The ideal candidate will have not only solid hands-on expertise in the above-mentioned computational techniques but will have a broad interest in, and some knowledge of, computer science, cognitive science, AI, AL, statistical dynamics, engineering (experience in biology is not required, although would be helpful). Our goal is to develop novel theory and toy models in a creative new approach to the fundamental and difficult problem of biological pattern regulation.
The Levin Lab comprises expertise in molecular genetics, regenerative biology, biophysics, and computer science and works at the boundary of a number of related disciplines.
