The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center (EWSC) at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is seeking exceptional postdoctoral fellows to join the center. The EWSC seeks to understand the programs of life and how they connect across biological scales—from the molecular to the genetic to the cellular to the organismal—by creating a strong community at the interface of machine learning and biology. We will do this by creating novel mathematical, computational and algorithmic paradigms, and applying these insights to solve the most pressing biomedical problems.

We welcome outstanding applicants with research interests in any area of machine learning, statistics, or mathematics that could drive the frontier of biomedical research. The role will be focused on the development of novel computational and algorithmic methods, with a strong bent towards developing the mathematical foundations of which algorithms are most suitable to biological applications and why.  While experience in machine learning or related fields is critical for the role, prior exposure to biology or medicine is advantageous but not required. 

This will be a one-year appointment beginning on or after July 1, 2023, or an earlier/later mutually agreed upon date, with the possibility of renewal for a second and third year based upon satisfactory performance.
