The Rabadan Lab is a multi-disciplinary team at the Columbia University Medical Center consisting of computational and evolutionary biologists, applied mathematicians, physicists, and physicians. As part of the Departments of Systems Biology and Biomedical Informatics, we collaborate with clinicians and public health researchers from around the world to explore the genetic underpinnings and epidemiology of infectious diseases and cancer. As part of the Center for Topology of Cancer Evolution and Heterogeneity, we are building a vibrant community of researchers who use insights and techniques from computational topology to solve pressing biomedical problems.
We are seeking a postdoctoral researcher who wants to work in a creative and collaborative environment on new mathematical approaches for understanding viral evolution.
Candidate qualifications include:
- PhD in any quantitative science (preferably mathematics, computer science, physics, astrophysics, computational biology, statistics, or engineering) or in life sciences with strong focus on mathematical modeling, evolution, and/or computation.
- Expertise in high-throughput sequencing technologies is highly valued.
- Excellent organizational and communication skills are a must.
Application Process:
Please send the following to st3090@cumc.columbia.edu
- Cover letter, highlighting experience with quantitative methods for understanding biological data and evolutionary processes
- CV
- Names and contact information for three references
