Connectionists: Postdoctoral position in Computational Systems Biology

[Sushmita Roy]

A 2 year postdoctoral position is  available in the Roy's research group 
in computational network biology and genomics at the Wisconsin Institute 
for Discovery (WID), University of Wisconsin, Madison. We are a 
computational biology group developing tools, based on statistical 
machine learning, for addressing problems in regulatory networks. The 
specific project position we are seeking to fill aims to develop 
probabilistic graphical model based approaches for predicting global 
response (e.g. genome-wide mRNA levels) in brain and neural tissue in 
response to various environmental toxins as well as prioritizing 
important genes and pathways that are important for these responses.

The WID, established in 2010, has state of the art research and 
computing infrastructure co-located with the Morgridge Institute for 
Discovery (MIR) at a 300,000 sq. feet building. The WID was voted the 
2012 Laboratory of the Year and offers a unique interdisciplinary and 
highly collaborative environment bringing together scientists spanning 
broad computational and biological disciplines: Epigenetics, Systems 
Biology, Optimization, Living Environment Laboratory and Bionates.

  REQUIREMENTS:
A PhD in a quantitative field (e.g. computer science, machine learning, 
statistics, engineering) with strong background in machine learning and 
probabilistic graphical model and  looking to expand their knowledge 
about cellular systems are strongly encouraged to apply.
Research experience in computational biology or bioinformatics will 
considered be a plus.

To apply, please send (1) CV with publications, (2) statement of 
research describing current research and future goals, and, (3) contact 
information of two references. Please send this information to 
sroy at biostat.wisc.edu
