Research Associate- Needleman Lab

The Protocol Labs Network is an ecosystem of teams pushing the boundaries of decentralized technologies, research, and open-source innovation. Explore opportunities across the network and join the mission.

The Needleman lab is seeking to hire two research associates to develop and apply theoretical and computational approaches to study complex cell biological systems. The emphasis will be on combining statistical inferences and biophysical modeling to analyze single cell cross-sectional data, such as single-cell omics, cellular electron microscopy, and optical microscopy data sets. Additional work may entail integrating large-scale cross-sectional data with more limited time-course information.

Applicants should have least 2 years of directly applicable postdoc experience.

Prior experience with random matrix theory, statistical inference, active matter, and biophysical modeling are desirable.

Letters of recommendation are required at the time of application. Candidates should submit with their application contact information for two to three references from experts at the ladder faculty ranks or highly accomplished senior researchers from corporations or research institutes.

Please include the following items as part of your application:

• Cover letter describing research interests and relevant experience.
• Summary of research experience and interests. (1-2 Pages)
• Name and contact information for 3 references.
