Job Description:
A postdoctoral position is available in Computational Systems Biology Group in the Department of Biological Sciences and the Center for Computation & Technology at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. The major focus of our group is the design and development of novel algorithms for the modeling and analysis of biological networks. We are interested in applying various tools from different research areas such as Structural Bioinformatics, Functional Genomics, Cheminformatics and Pharmacogenomics to study the evolution and organization of pathways into biological networks with the primary application in modern drug discovery and design. This project, in Dr. Michal Brylinski's laboratory, investigates across-proteome protein-drug interaction networks to advance our understanding of binding promiscuity of drugs causing side effects. This position requires extensive knowledge of structural biology focusing on molecular interactions between organic compounds and target proteins. Furthermore, it requires high proficiency in computer and computational science, from writing efficient codes in C/C++ and Python languages to performing large scale calculations on modern supercomputers equipped with parallel accelerators (GPU and Xeon Phi). Duties: 75% Pursue an independent research project investigating across-proteome interaction networks linking drug compounds with their macromolecular targets. 15% Assist with training and supervision of graduate and undergraduate students. 10% Assist with general lab maintenance (software packages, websites, webservers, publicly available datasets, etc.) Min Quals: PhD in Computational Biology, Biophysics or related field; three years research experience. Preferred Quals: Experience in the development of scientific codes for computational biology, structure-based modeling of proteins and protein-ligand complexes.
