| Postdoctoral Position in Computation and Informatics in Biology and Medicine | ||||
| The Computation and Informatics in Biology and Medicine (CIBM) Training Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a postdoctoral traineeship opening in computation and informatics for researchers wishing to solve biomedical problems requiring strengths in both computational and biological sciences (http://www.cibm.wisc.edu). The CIBM postdoctoral traineeships, funded by the NLM Grant 5T15LM007359, are designed for cross-disciplinary training. The 51 CIBM faculty span 14 different departments and five colleges at UW-Madison and include several faculty at the Marshfield Clinic Research Foundation (located about 100 miles north of Madison). The interplay between computational and statistical methods in the biomedical sciences continues to expand rapidly so that now both computer modeling and informatics play key roles. CIBM faculty and trainees have been developing robust algorithms for the analysis of molecular data. Increasingly, questions in the biosciences are being phrased for these more quantitative approaches, and computer scientists are discovering new computational approaches in attempting to address biological problems. Furthermore, the power of new hardware, algorithms, and software is transforming our thinking about complex systems research. CIBM has focused on the development of novel bioinformatics algorithms to analyze molecular data, including genome sequences, proteins (levels, interactions, structures), and regulatory pathways. Our program has a unique translational medicine component. In a collaboration with the Marshfield Clinic, trainees have the opportunity to develop algorithms to predict clinical parameters, such as disease susceptibility or treatment response, from combined molecular and clinical data. A strong training program and the environment at the University of Wisconsin in biology and computational sciences provides a rich setting for research training. The postdoctoral trainees must be U.S. citizens or hold Permanent Resident status.
