but not essential. In this position, you will conduct research on early
stage cancer diagnosis and personalized therapy selection, with the aim of
developing radically new types of products.
Ideal candidates will have a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics,
Biomedical Informatics, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science (with
significant research and course work in Bioinformatics). Candidates
graduating with a Ph.D., in 2008 are also encouraged to apply. Candidates
must have a strong publication record at the top bioinformatics conferences
and journals such as RECOMB, ISMB, PSB, JCB, Bioinformatics, etc.
Candidates must possess good communication skills and a proven record in
research, innovative thinking, real world problem solving, and fast
prototyping.
Primary areas of interest include:
a)
Early stage cancer diagnosis using gene/protein expression and other
new types of high-throughput genomic data
b)
Combining all available sources of information (lab records, genomic
data, textual doctors’ notes, billing records, etc) to predict patient
outcomes for various types of treatments. Prediction of optimal treatments
on an individual basis.
c)
Additional areas of interest include text mining, feature
extraction, predictive modeling, and mining large databases.
