Postdoc opportunity: machine learning methods for high-content image screens (Verhaak lab)
Description
The Verhaak lab is looking to recruit a postdoctoral associate who will help us develop analytical approaches for high-content imaging screen data sets. The ideal candidate has experience with machine learning and cancer biology. Previous work with high-throughput approaches is desirable. First author peer-reviewed papers are required.
The Verhaak lab is a hybrid dry and wet lab allowing us to generate and analyze complex data from emerging technologies including high-throughput 3D content screens, live cell tracking of extrachromosomal DNA, and single cell genomics/proteomics to better answer our biologically-driven questions. The candidate will build upon our existing high-content screens datasets, consisting of >50M high-resolution images of billions of single cells, which we use to identify new therapeutic approaches for cancer patients.
We offer a supportive environment that is highly conducive to effectively working towards a great future. If you are a PhD-level or MD-level scientist with first author publications and an interest in cancer, high-throughput methods, we strongly encourage you to apply. Gender parity and diversity in thought, beliefs, and backgrounds in the lab lead to better, more thoughtful science. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds. We place greater emphasis on your ambition and curiosity to confront some of formidable questions in cancer evolution than your current skillset. The goal of your postdoc is to help you achieve your career goal(s), including the ability to develop computational skills, and as evidenced by the many alumni who successfully started their own laboratories. Please take look at our lab website: verhaaklab.com to learn more about our recent news and get to know our team members.
Qualifications
- MD or PhD in genetics, molecular/cell biology, cancer biology.
- Track record of productivity supported by first-author publication(s) in peer-reviewed journals.
- Outstanding writing and communication skills, with an ability to work both independently and within collaborative teams productively
