into emergent phenomena in molecular and cellular biology.
About the Position
The successful candidate, in collaboration with faculty at NCEMS, will conduct original computational biology research involving large-scale public datasets, multi-omics integration, biological data harmonization, systems-level analysis, or related areas that synergize with the scientific goals, data products, and methodological innovations of NCEMS. This position is designed to support the scholar's development as an independent researcher while embedding them in a highly collaborative synthesis science environment.
This position is full time, on-site at the Penn State University Park campus. This position does not permit remote work. This is a term appointment funded for one year from the date of hire with an excellent chance for multiple years of renewal based upon mutual agreement.
Requirements
A PhD in Computational Biology or Systems Biology is required. The successful candidate will have a strong foundation in computational analysis of molecular and cellular biology data. Expertise in Python and/or R. A demonstrated ability to conduct independent research as demonstrated through a strong track-record of peer-reviewed publications. Experience working with large-scale biological datasets, including genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic, lipidomic, epigenomic, interactomic, structural, glycomic, or single-cell multi-omics data a plus. Familiarity with biological databases and public data repositories, such as NCBI, GEO, SRA, ENA, UniProt, etc. Candidates must be independent self-starters, have a strong work ethic, strong interpersonal and written communication skills, and the ability to work well in a collaborative team environment.
Application Process
Applications must be submitted electronically in a single PDF and should include a cover letter and Curriculum vitae (CV).
