| ** Two Postdoctoral Fellowships **
** Machine Learning and Bioinformatics **
We are seeking two highly creative and motivated postdoctoral research fellows to participate in the following research area:
Development of Bayesian network models and machine learning methods for protein fold recognition. This project is part of a collaborative effort to develop a community resource to enable the emerging science of structural genomics. Candidates should have a Ph.D. in computational biology, computer science, machine learning, theoretical physics, applied mathematics, or a similar quantitative field and a strong interest in molecular biology.
The positions will be based in London (position 1) and Southern California (position 2), and are described below. The positions form part of a collaborative research project between KGI, UCL, UCSD and the Burnham Institute.
Position 1 ----------
Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit University College London (UCL)
http://www.gatsby.ucl.ac.uk/
Working with Dr Zoubin Ghahramani on advanced inference and learning methods in Bayesian networks and other statistical machine learning methods with applicability to protein fold recognition.
The Gatsby Unit at UCL is located in a quiet square in the heart of London, providing an ideal setting for research in computational neuroscience and machine learning in an exciting urban environment.
Prospective candidates should apply with a cover letter, CV, and names and email addresses of 2-3 referees. This should be sent by email to: [email protected], preferably using plain text, postscript or pdf formats only.
Closing Date for applications: 31 July 2002. The position is available immediately and the duration of the appointment is 2 years with possibility of renewal.
Position 2 ----------
Keck Graduate Institute in Applied Life Sciences (KGI)
http://www.kgi.edu/home.html
Working with Dr David Wild on the application of machine learning methods to protein fold recognition.
KGI is located 35 miles east of Los Angeles, at the foot of the San Gabriel Mountains. Its campus is contiguous with those of the other Claremont Colleges, which together with surrounding educational institutions in Southern California provide a rich intellectual and cultural environment.
Prospective candidates should apply with a cover letter and CV, and ask for at least two letters of recommendation to be sent to Dr. David Wild at: Keck Graduate Institute, 535 Watson Drive, Claremont, CA 91711. Email: [email protected].
The position is open immediately and applications will be reviewed as they are received until the position is filled.
