Postdoctoral Research Associate - Machine Learning in Biophysics
About the Opportunity
The SymBioSys Lab (www.simbiosyslab.com ) is seeking an independent and creative postdoctoral associate to support research on computational modeling of complex protein-glycan intereactions in the broad field of glycoprotein-based therapeutic design. Strong background and experience with applications of machine learning (especially Explainable Artificial Intelligence - XAI) is required. The available position is in the Chemical Engineering Department of Northeastern University (Boston Campus). Our laboratory values diversity and expects all lab members to foster a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment. The duties and responsibilities for this position may include, but are not limited to:

• Establish ML and XAI based models explaining structural aspects of biomolecular systems
• Design and implement research ideas independently and in association with the supervisor and other collaborators
• Perform simulations and analyze large-scale data utilizing robust statistical methods
• Provide meticulous documentation, code development, maintenance, and summarization of results
• Develop and write reports, publications, and grants
• Attend and participate in research meetings and seminars
• Participate in career development training workshops/sessions and networking opportunities for research and mentoring
• Guide and mentor graduate or undergraduate students, including participation in training to improve these skills as needed
• Foster a safe, inclusive, and collaborative environment.

It is expected that the postdoctoral associate will develop and execute a career development plan in coordination with the PI.
About our lab: The overarching goal in our laboratory is to develop novel computer-driven solutions to glycoprotein-based biomedical challenges. Two independent thrusts targeting viral vaccine engineering and biomaterial design form the current research focus. This is a cross-disciplinary group at the interface of Chemical Engineering, Biochemistry, Physics and Computer Science. All research is expected to occur in association with other experimental collaborators (both intra- and extramural).
Qualifications:
Must have a Ph.D. or equivalent; be able to undertake substantially full-time research or scholarship; work under the supervision of a senior scholar. This position requires excellent communication skills, both interpersonal and scientific, oral, and written. Strong background and experience with applications of machine learning (especially Explainable Artificial Intelligence - XAI) is required. All candidates should provide a detailed CV, research statement and contact information of three or more academic/professional references.
Preferred Qualifications:
Candidates should be enthusiastic about working in a fast-paced, interdisciplinary, and multi-project environment. The successful candidate will be able to work both independently and collaboratively. Expertise in any of the following techniques in addition to those mentioned above is additional asset: all-atom and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations, multi-scale approaches, enhanced sampling methods, Markov processes, knowledge in the field of glycosciences.
