Job Summary
The Bosch Lab at the University of Utah (https://www.boschlab.com/) invites applications for a computational post-doctoral position to support projects related to biomolecular interaction prediction using AI tools.
The Bosch Lab studies projects related to organ-organ communication. Our aim is to discover and study proteins in blood circulation – to understand which cells release them, where they go, what they do. In addition to using experimental wet-lab tools, we also develop software tools to identify novel hormones and receptors by running AI models (e.g. AlphaFold) on large-scale at high performance data centers. The software tools we have developed are of broad use to the scientific community, and we are looking for a post-doc to maintain and expand these tools.
Necessary skills: Experience with the command-line (e.g. Linux) and programming (e.g. Python).
Minimum Qualifications: PhD in biology or computer science or similar.
Responsibilities
• Conducts lab research under the guidance of the supervisor(s).
• Participates in lab meetings, shares research findings, and engages in discussion.
• Reviews scientific publications, protocols, and general knowledge via internet searching to prepare for and troubleshoot, as well as to enhance the overall understanding of the research and techniques.
Minimum Qualifications
Preferences
- A late-stage PhD student or recent PhD graduate.
- Demonstrated publication and funding record during PhD work.
- Demonstrated skills in written and verbal communication (e.g. keeping a lab notebook, email correspondence, slide presentations)
