**************************POSTDOCTORAL AD**********************
Princeton University
Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics & Department of Computer Science
Bioinformatics/Computational Biology Postdoctoral Fellowships Postdoctoral positions are
available in the Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics
(http://function.princeton.edu/) at the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and the
Department of Computer Science at Princeton University.
The laboratory is led by Professor Olga Troyanskaya and develops innovative computational
and experimental approaches to predictive modeling and analysis of biological processes on
the genomic scale. Potential projects are in areas of modeling biological pathways and
networks based on heterogeneous genomic data in the context of tissue, developmental
stage, and disease specificity; development of search algorithms and systems for very large
expression data compendia; and development of novel machine learning approaches for
data integration and pathway prediction. Many projects in the lab are purely computational,
but several combine computational and experimental aspects. Our laboratory is
located in the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and is also affiliated with the
Departments of Computer Science and Molecular Biology at Princeton. The laboratory has
both computational and experimental space, and members of the group have backgrounds
ranging from machine learning to computer systems to computational biology to experimental
biochemistry or genetics. Both the laboratory and the Genomics Institute provide an
exceptional collaborative environment for research and learning. Teaching opportunities may
be available for those interested. Ideal candidate would have a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics,
Computer Science, Statistics, Engineering, Physics, Genetics or a related field. A strong
computational background is required (background in machine learning, statistics, graph and
network algorithms, or search algorithms is especially beneficial, as is substantial
programming/systems building experience). For exceptional computational candidates, it is
not essential to have extensive knowledge of biology up front. Exceptional experimentalists
with less strong computational background will also be considered. For all candidates,
strong research and publication background is required.
To apply, e-mail a cover letter and CV (including publication list and names of at least three
references) to Professor Olga Troyanskaya (ogt@princeton.edu) with email subject line
'Postdoctoral Application'.
