[BBC] Stanford Center for Cancer Systems Biology Postdoc Position Available

[Olivier Gevaert]

Job Location: School of Medicine
Job Category: Research
Date Posted: June 1, 2011

Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology

We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow in computational biology to study
the self-renewal properties of cancer in our NIH funded Center for
Cancer Systems Biology (ccsb.stanford.edu). The successful candidate
will work in a multidisciplinary environment to develop and apply new
computational algorithms that integrate diverse high-throughput
molecular cancer datasets, including microarray gene expression,
sequencing and proteomics data. The candidate will be expected to
reconstruct transcriptional and signaling networks of cancer and
identify likely drivers of disease progression. S/he will work closely
with experimental molecular biologists to translate
computationally-derived results into experimentally testable
hypotheses and analyze the resulting data from the experiments.
Candidates must have a strong quantitative background, with a PhD in
computational biology, or related work in engineering, computer
science, statistics, or mathematics. Strong knowledge in machine
learning and programming (C/C++. MATLAB, or R) are required. Knowledge
in graph theory, survival analysis, and sparse regression are
desirable. Excellent verbal and written communication skills are
essential.

Interested candidates should e-mail a cover letter describing research
experience, accomplishments and research interests, CV and 3
references to Professor Sylvia Plevritis,
sylvia.plevritis at stanford.edu, with the subject line: Postdoctoral
Fellowship in Computational Biology
