Description
A Postdoctoral Research Associate or more senior research position in computational biology is available in the Pritykin lab at the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics and the Computer Science Department at Princeton University.
We seek candidates with computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, machine learning, statistics, data science, applied math and/or other quantitative backgrounds who are enthusiastic about bringing their expertise to address fundamental problems in biology and medicine using cutting-edge technologies.
The term of appointment is based on rank. Positions at the postdoctoral rank are for one year with the possibility of renewal pending satisfactory performance and continued funding; those hired at more senior ranks may have multi-year appointments.
The Pritykin lab (http://pritykinlab.princeton.edu) develops computational methods for design and analysis of high-throughput functional genomic assays and perturbations, with a focus on multi-modal single-cell, spatial and genome editing technologies; and applies these methods to study regulatory genomics of cell function and cell-cell interactions, with a focus on immunology and cancer. The successful candidate will have an opportunity to lead and contribute to a range of exciting collaborative projects and develop new projects.
This position is not eligible for sponsorship of an H-1B visa requiring consular processing; other visa sponsorships (including H-1B visas not requiring consular processing) may be available, as appropriate.
Qualifications
PhD in a relevant field is required. Strong track record of productivity is essential. Experience with biological data analysis is a plus but not required.
Application Instructions
Applications are submitted online and should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae that includes a list of publications, a brief statement of research interests and goals, and three confidential letters of recommendation. This position is subject to the University's background check policy. Please email Dr. Yuri Pritykin at pritykin@princeton.edu with any questions about the position.
