Position Title: Postdoctoral Fellow
Duties and Responsibilities: We are looking for two post-doctoral researchers to work under the joint supervision of Dr. Bani K. Mallick and Dr. Veera Baladandayuthapani at Texas A&M University (TAMU) and MD Anderson Cancer Center (MDACC), respectively. The other investigators in the project are Drs. Raymond Carroll (at TAMU) and Han Liang (at MDACC). The primary research focus will be applying novel statistical and computational methods to the analysis of complex, high-dimensional data such as various types of high-throughput proteomic, genomic and sequencing, with particular emphasis on developing integrative and flexible models that incorporate both biological knowledge and empirical structures.
Position Qualifications: We seek a highly motivated individual with a Ph.D. in a quantitative field: Statistics, Biostatistics, computer science, engineering, genomics, bioinformatics, or a related field. Must have strong training in statistics as well as programming skills, in particular R/Matlab/Python and preferably one lower-level computer language such as C or Fortran; and interest in the application of state-of-the-art statistical methods to complex data. Interest or background in bioinformatics, genomics, proteomics is a plus. Expertise or skills in any of the following areas is desirable: analysis of high-dimensional data, Bayesian modeling and computations, Bayesian nonparametrics, graphical models and multivariate techniques, computational biology, data mining, and/or machine learning.
Salary Range: Competitive
Application Information: Please contact Dr Bani K. Mallick (bmallick@stat.tamu.edu) and Dr. Veera Baladandayuthapani (Veera@mdanderson.org) with your current CV and names of three reference.
