Computational Cell Biophysics Research Associate

Harvard University; Cambridge (MA); On-site; USD 55,000 - 75,000; Full time

Job summary

Harvard University seeks two research associates for the Needleman lab to develop theoretical and computational approaches for studying complex cell biological systems. Emphasis on statistical inferences and biophysical modeling will drive data analysis from single-cell omics, electron microscopy, and optical microscopy datasets.

Candidates should have at least 2 years of postdoc experience and familiarity with random matrix theory, statistical inference, and biophysical modeling. Applications require a cover letter, a research summary, and references.

Qualifications

• At least 2 years of directly applicable postdoc experience.
• Prior experience with random matrix theory, statistical inference, active matter, and biophysical modeling are desirable.

Responsibilities

• Develop and apply theoretical and computational approaches to study cell biological systems.
• Analyze single cell cross-sectional data using statistical inferences and biophysical modeling.
• Integrate large-scale cross-sectional data with time-course information.

Education

Doctorate (Ph.D.) in a relevant field
