Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory | Postdoctoral Fellow | Cold Spring Harbor, NY (outside of NYC) | Onsite | Full Time Two computational postdoctoral positions are available immediately at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) in the lab of Saket Navlakha ( navlakhalab.net/ ). Position details * Work at the interface of theoretical computer science, machine learning, and systems biology. * Develop bleeding edge machine learning algorithms to answer fundamental questions about biology and disease. * Discover new ideas for computation by studying problem-solving strategies used in nature (“algorithms in nature”). * Recent lab successes have been in neural circuit computation and plant architecture optimization, but suggestions for new areas of interest (e.g. cancer) are also welcome. * Ample opportunities to publish in high tier journals (PI has recent publications in Science and PNAS). Required Qualifications * PhD (or graduating soon) in computer science or related computational/bioinformatics field. * Strong algorithmic and programming skills. * First author publications in computational biology conferences or journals. Preferred Qualifications * Strong publication track record. A first author publication in a high impact factor (>4-5) journal or a paper presented at a top conference (e.g. RECOMB, ISMB, WABI, PSB, BIBM, NIPS, ICML, KDD, PAKDD, ICLR, AISTATS, UAI, ICDE, ICDM, SDM, or CIKM). * Computer science PhD. * Machine learning experience. * Experience or interest in learning biology and collaborating with experimentalists. Interested? Please submit a CV and a short description of how your research interests overlap with the PI's to paul@talentseq.com .
