Postdoctoral Fellow- Meyer & Navlakha Labs

The Meyer and Navlakha labs in the Simons Center for Quantitative Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory are looking for a post-doctoral fellow interested in combining computational and experimental approaches to study tolerance induction and generation of diversity in the immune system. Computationally, the position will require experience in machine learning and statistics. Experimentally, the position will require experience in in vitro imaging combined with cell tracking experiments and tissue culture.  An ideal candidate would be well-versed in both, but sufficient enthusiasm and excitement to learn can replace lack of experience.

Position Requirements:

A Ph.D. in computer science/computational biology and related fields (with strong programming skills and scientific data visualization) or immunology/biology (with experience in flow cytometry/live tissue cultures/microscopy); familiarity with sequencing technologies would be a plus. Candidates are expected to exhibit resourcefulness and independence, willing to take the lead and actively drive the research project.

Please submit a CV, a short description of how our research interests overlap, and contact information for two references to: hmeyer@cshl.edu and navlakha@cshl.edu. In addition, please apply online to https://cshl.peopleadmin.com/postings/18643 Position ID: 03019-R
