Job Description:
The Systems Biology 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 primary mission of the CCB is to create new computational frameworks that will enable scientists to analyze the large and complex data sets that are being generated by new experimental technologies. Tremendous opportunities for discovery are emerging in the biological and biomedical sciences, as well as in traditional physical and social sciences, but they will require the combined power of theory, data analysis, and simulation. In the biomedical sciences, for example, researchers are being confronted by an explosion of information from genome sequencing, gene expression profiling, proteomics, multi-electrode recording, and multiple high-resolution imaging modalities. The focus remains on problems arising in biophysical modeling, genomics, neuroscience, and structural biology, collaborating closely with experimental colleagues. The Systems Biology group focuses on diverse topics, including network inference and modeling, model selection applied to biology, protein structure prediction and design, and automated protein function prediction. Systems Biology is also affiliated with the Courant Institute for Mathematical Sciences and the NYU Medical School (via Dr. Bonneau’s group at NYU, http://bonneaulab.bio.nyu.edu ). Flatiron Research Fellows (postdocs) 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 Systems Biology may be expected to 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).
