| Call for Postdoctoral Fellow Nominations Ray & Stephanie Lane Fellows in Computational Biology The Lane Fellow Program recognizes and supports scientists of outstanding intellect who are dedicated to a career at the interface of computational and biological sciences so that they can pursue postdoctoral research in the rich computational environment at Carnegie Mellon. Lane Fellows will receive a stipend of $60,000, full fringe benefits including medical, dental, vision and life insurance, and a professional support allocation of $6,000 to cover items such as purchase of a laptop computer, travel to conferences, membership in relevant professional societies, and journal subscriptions. Lane Fellows will be selected for a three year appointment beginning approximately July 1, 2010. Nominations must be received by November 15, 2009. Successful candidates will be notified by March 31, 2010. A nomination form may be found at http://lane.compbio.cmu.edu. Mission: The Lane Center for Computational Biology at Carnegie Mellon University seeks to realize the potential of machine learning for expanding our understanding of complex biological systems. A primary goal of the center is to develop the computational tools that will enable automated creation of detailed, predictive models of biological processes, including automated experiment design and data acquisition. We anticipate that these efforts will not only lead to deep biological knowledge but also to tools for individualized diagnosis and treatment of disease. The Lane Center builds on the strong history of computational and interdisciplinary research at Carnegie Mellon. | ||||
| Candidates must be nominated by their thesis advisor, department head, or one of the Lane Center faculty. Students who are interested in this exciting and prestigious postdoctoral research opportunity are encouraged to bring this call to the attention of their advisor or to express their interest to one or more of the Lane Center faculty. Absent special circumstances, nominees must have received their doctoral degree after August 1, 2008 or be expected to receive their degree by August 1, 2010. The nominator must provide a letter of recommendation that describes the significance of their past work, their qualifications for interdisciplinary work, and the basis for considering them as potential future leaders in computational biology. Nominations must be received by November 15, 2009. | ||||
