Job Description:
The Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences of The Pennsylvania State University seeks enthusiastic, creative, and team-oriented applicants for a non-tenure track research associate position focused on computational metabolomics. Rapid technological advancements have led to an urgent need for development and implementation of rigorous computational approaches involving, but not limited to, data mining, pattern recognition, and machine learning, to analyze and interpret metabolomics data, to build and refine predictive models, and to merge metabolomics data with data streams from other “omics” disciplines, such as genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The successful applicant is expected to: contribute to a growing program focused on computational metabolomics; undertake structural elucidations based on fragmentation patterns and develop new tools to refine and accelerate that activity; develop databases for metabolite identification and curation of metabolomics projects; and develop algorithms for analysis and interpretation of metabolomics data along with associated Galaxy workflows. Must have a Ph.D. in computer science, statistics, electrical engineering, chemical engineering, bioinformatics, life sciences, or a related field, have demonstrable experience in either chemometrics or metabolomics, machine learning, data mining, pattern recognition, information fusion, and be well versed in analysis of high-throughput and high-dimensional data. Exceptionally creative and motivated individuals who are skilled in computational approaches for complex data but do not possess extensive biology, biochemistry, or metabolomics experience are also encouraged to apply. This is a non-tenure track 48-week appointment funded for one year from date of hire with excellent possibility of re-funding.
