Position Description: |
The Eric and Wendy Schmidt Center at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard is seeking exceptional postdoctoral associates to join this endowed center. The Schmidt Center’s mission is to create the theoretical, computational and algorithmic paradigms that will enable us to understand the programs of life and how they connect across scales, from proteins to cells to tissues and organisms. The Schmidt Center is located within the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard - a world-leading non-profit research organization dedicated to better understanding the roots of disease and narrowing the gap between new biological insights and impact for patients in an interdisciplinary manner. The position: We welcome outstanding applicants with research interests in any area of machine learning, statistics, or applied 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. Postdoctoral associates independently choose their (computational and biomedical) mentors from Broad-, MIT-, or Harvard-affiliated faculty. Completed application review will begin on a rolling basis after December 20, 2023. This will be a one-year appointment beginning on or after July 1, 2024, or an earlier/later mutually agreed upon date, with the possibility of renewal for a second and third year based upon satisfactory performance.
