A full-time postdoctoral position is available in Olivier Elemento’s laboratory at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University and Institute for Computational Biomedicine in New York City.

The group’s research emphasis is the systems and computational biology of regulatory networks in normal and malignant cells. As part of our research, we develop and apply innovative computational tools and modeling techniques to generate testable hypotheses and reveal fundamental principles about regulatory network connectivity, regulatory mechanisms, regulatory sequences, drug targets, and other molecular aspects of cancer cells. Experimental testing of these hypotheses and generation of new data (e.g., ChIP-seq and RNA-seq) is done in collaboration with other groups at Weill Cornell and elsewhere.

Strong programming skills (e.g., in C, C++, or Java), expertise in statistics and machine learning are necessary for this position. Prior experience with analysis of deep sequencing or proteomic data would be a plus.

To apply, email a resume in addition to names and contact addresses of two persons who can provide recommendation letters to:
