Faculty All Ranks [Tenured Track/Tenured], Program for Mathematical Genomics

The Program for Mathematical Genomics in the Department of Systems Biology at Columbia University in New York City invites outstanding candidates to apply for tenure track/tenured faculty positions at the level of Assistant Professor or higher rank. This new program seeks individuals with exceptional accomplishments and abilities in broad areas of quantitative biology, including but not limited to systems biology (data-driven and model/theory-based), mathematical and theoretical biology, machine learning, functional genomics, dynamical systems modeling, molecular and single-cell biology, and methods development for the analysis and understanding of biological datasets and their associated phenomena. The successful candidate will join a friendly, highly collaborative faculty and will have access to superb resources. We seek faculty members with a strong commitment to research, mentoring, and teaching, fostering a climate that embraces both excellence and diversity.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in any quantitative discipline, active research in quantitative approaches to biological problems, and must demonstrate the ability to develop a creative independent research program. Applicants should include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and three-page summary/statement of current and proposed research. We also require three letters of recommendation. Apply here: pa334.peopleadmin.com/postings/7274 Required documents may also be sent to pr2470@cumc.columbia.edu.

Columbia University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer and encourages applications from women and underrepresented minorities.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist

Columbia University’s Department of Systems Biology is seeking a qualified candidate for a Postdoctoral Research Scientist (computational) position in Dr. Andrea Califano’s laboratory. Candidates should have outstanding scientific credentials, including first-author publications in journals relevant to the field of systems biology, and conference presentations. Candidates possessing a strong computational background combined with a good understanding of molecular biology will be especially well suited to fill this position, including background in machine learning, physics, mathematics, and related sciences. In addition, the optimal candidate will have significant experience and publications in network-based biology, including the reverse engineering and/or use of regulatory/signaling networks to elucidate the molecular determinants of specific cellular phenotypes and associated mechanisms for follow-up experimental validation.

Integration of quantitative analysis, high-throughput experimentation, and technology development is the hallmark of systems biology at Columbia. As such, the Postdoctoral Research Scientist will work collaboratively on multidisciplinary teams to develop or improve algorithms for the analysis of cell regulatory and signaling networks; use models to predict how the genomic and epigenomic diversity affect physiologic or pathologic phenotypes; and develop new methods and technologies for elucidating biological mechanisms at the systems level.
