Description:

A postdoctoral research fellow position is available in the new Complex Cellular Phenotype Analysis Group at the Bioinformatics Institute (BII) in Singapore. The group’s main research focus is to investigate complex cellular responses to external perturbations using quantitative image and data analysis approaches. The successful candidate will design new computational algorithms and tools for extracting biological information from microscopy images and other sources of data. He/she will have the opportunity to do cutting-edge research in computational and systems biology, and work in a highly interdisciplinary and stimulating environment. The remuneration is highly competitive, and commensurate with experience. Additional benefits include a settling-in allowance and group medical insurance.

Qualifications:
Candidates must have a strong quantitative background, with a Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Bioengineering, Electrical or Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, or other related fields. Strong knowledge in machine learning, data mining and programming (C/C++, Matlab and R) are required. Previous experience in image processing, bioinformatics, systems modeling or molecular and cell biology is desired, but not required. Candidates with interdisciplinary training in biology and computing are especially encouraged to apply.

About BII:
The BII (http://www.bii.a-star.edu.sg) is a member of the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR) Biomedical Sciences Institutes in Singapore. As a national research and postgraduate training institute in computational biology, the BII focuses on theoretical approaches aimed at understanding biomolecular mechanisms that underlie biological phenomena, the development of computational methods to support this discovery process, and experimental verification of predicted molecular and cellular functions of genes and proteins with biochemical methods.
