A post-doctoral fellowships (PDF) position in the field of machine learning/computational biology is available in the School of Biomedical Engineering and Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia/Vancouver General Hospital. The incumbents will join an interdisciplinary team working to establish a program on machine learning applications in pathology and genomics. Candidates are expected to have extensive experience in one or more of the following areas: diverse areas of machine learning and statistics especially deep neural networks, statistics, and image processing.

The candidate will play an important role in the project team, including authoring grants, conducting large-scale international projects, managing collaborations, disseminating research findings, and assisting in managing junior lab members.

The successful candidate will report to the Principal Investigator (Director of AI Research at OVCARE, Dr. Ali Bashashati).

We invite applications for a postdoctoral position in the CSG lab (http://csg.lab.mcgill.ca/) at McGill University. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary team of computational and experimental biologists working at the intersection of machine learning, statistical inference, and genomics to understand the genetic and molecular basis of gene regulation, characterize the role of gene regulatory factors in determining cell identity and function, and uncover the gene regulatory basis of human diseases.

Research areas that we are excited about include, but are not limited to, development of new statistical and machine learning methods for analysis of high-dimensional multi-modal omics data, machine learning-based sequence-to-activity models, and AI models for omics-based diagnosis and prognosis of diseases.

The Gastrointestinal (GI) Oncology Translational Lab at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York City is seeking a highly skilled computational biologist with a strong analytical background, driven to tackle the mysteries of biology with high-throughput data. We are looking for a bright and motivated person to join our research program to study tumor microenvironments, unique molecular disease subtypes, and their relation to resistance and sensitivity to cytotoxic therapy and immunotherapies. The Translational Lab (PI Manish A. Shah, MD) in the GI Oncology program at Weill Cornell is a multidisciplinary group focused on novel drug and immunotherapy development across GI malignancies (https://shahlab.weill.cornell.edu/).  Drivers of resistance including disease subtypes, the tumor microenvironment, and host factors are explored in preclinical models and from blood and tissue samples across an array of patients treated on clinical trials.

This position combines the best aspects of industry and academia; it is ideal for PhD graduates looking to work in a thriving and stimulating research environment on cutting-edge medical and clinical research projects, directly impacting multiple research efforts. The focus of our work is to understand the data at hand and how it relates to the initial research question. If you enjoy detail-oriented data exploration, hypothesis testing, writing robust code, and contributing to a wide range of research projects, then this job is for you!

The University of Florida (UF) is the flagship campus of the State of Florida university system and is ranked as the #5 best public US university according to US News and World Report. UF is one of only a few comprehensive universities, having medical, veterinary, dental, nursing, public health, and engineering disciplines all co-localized on the same, contiguous campus. UF is a highly collaborative environment that provides researchers with many opportunities for learning (e.g., top seminar programs, excellent core research facilities) and research collaborations. Gainesville is located in the northern region of Florida, within 1-1.5 hours of each coast, and just 1.5-2 hours to Orlando and Tampa. It is a small to medium-sized city with a low cost of living, good restaurants and entertainment, and southern hospitality. While Gainesville is widely recognized as the home of the Gators, it is quickly becoming known as a center for innovation and a place with a lifestyle that’s comfortable for families, yet attractive for young professionals.
