Job Description:
The Numerical Algorithms Group at the Flatiron Institute's Center for Computational Biology (CCB) seeks researchers with various levels of experience. Depending on levels of experience, positions may be at-will or term-appointment.

The Numerical Algorithms group works on the development of new computational and statistical methods for the analysis of large, complex datasets and for the accurate numerical simulation of biological processes. Flatiron Research Fellows (postdocs) and/or Research Scientists will be given significant freedom in defining their research direction and will be provided with a unique environment that combines computer science, applied math, biology and biomedical colleagues. Research Scientists in Numerical Algorithms may be responsible for the development of methods and software for a variety of problems in computational science, including: signal processing; image processing; statistical estimation and inference; and, the modeling of biophysical systems. Research Scientists may also lead and coordinate several other analysts and biologists at both the foundation and collaborating university labs (i.e. will also serve as a team manager and project coordinator as the scale of data collection increases).

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS

Education:

  • PhD in computer science, statistics, computational biology or related field
Experience:
  • Experience in mathematics or computational biology
  • Experience with optimization
