美国莱斯大学计算生物工程博士后职位招聘

The Kavraki group at Rice University (http://www.kavrakilab.org) is looking to hire an enthusiastic postdoctoral research associate to enhance their research efforts in protein function prediction, systems biology, and metabolic engineering. The group is broadly interested in computational approaches to help understand the relationship between structure and function, the design of new therapeutics, and the engineering of metabolic pathways to synthesize novel compounds including pharmaceutical drugs.

Knowledge of machine learning methods and tools, as well as data analytics is a plus. Good software engineering skills are also required.

The position becomes available immediately. The duration of the position is one year and can be renewed for a second year. Compensation is commensurate with experience. Because of funding restrictions, only US citizens or permanent residents can be considered.

Qualifications and Application

The ideal candidate will have a strong enthusiasm for interdisciplinary work. Required skills include excellent analytical skills, excellent software engineering skills, programming experience, and extensive exposure to biochemistry and biophysics. A Ph.D. in a related field is required for the position. In the past successful candidates have had degrees in Computer Science, Bioengineering, Biophysics, Physics, and Chemistry. In the case of a non-engineering degree, the candidate should have strong programming skills. Excellent communication and collaboration skills are also required as the selected candidate will be expected to work closely with current lab members and with collaborators.

To indicate interest please send a CV to Lydia Kavraki (kavraki@rice.edu). Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
