Location: Cold Spring Harbor, New York
Employment Type:
Postdoc
Organization Type:
Higher Education Institution
Internal Number: 02802-R
Position Description
A post-doctoral position in computational biology is available in David McCandlish’s group in the Simons Center for Quantitative Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
Research in the McCandlish laboratory is focused on the analysis of high-throughput mutagenesis data, with the goal of accurately predicting the phenotypic, health, and evolutionary consequences of both single and multiple mutations in protein coding and regulatory sequences. The group has a particular emphasis on understanding complex genetic interactions and the structure of the genotype-phenotype map.

The group has a particular emphasis on understanding complex genetic interactions and the structure of the genotype-phenotype map.
The successful candidate will conduct computational analyses of genotype-phenotype maps in a variety of systems and/or develop new mathematical, statistical and computational techniques for modeling the effects of mutations and how mutations interact. Current research directions involve Gaussian processes, Markov chains, and population-genetic theory, with applications to protein design, regulation of gene expression, and cancer.
This position is affiliated with the Simons Center for Quantitative Biology (SCQB).
