About this position
The Michigan Center for Applied and Interdisciplinary Mathematics (MCAIM) at the University of Michigan is seeking two Assistant Research Scientist researchers to join its Algorithm Core team in the Department of Mathematics.
The positions focus on cutting-edge research in applied mathematics, especially the development of new algorithms and tools that can support researchers at the University of Michigan and beyond. The work is explicitly interdisciplinary, bringing together mathematics, computer science, and biosciences around data-driven insights and mathematical applications in the biosciences.
Selected researchers will work on algorithm development, optimization, computational modeling, and validation of innovative methods for complex datasets, with particular emphasis on bioscience data. The role also includes contributing to grant proposals, preparing publications, presenting at conferences and workshops, and supporting a collaborative research environment within MCAIM.
The advert highlights that candidates should be able to connect their mathematical and algorithmic expertise to biological research, and it encourages applicants to identify synergies with ongoing campus research in mathematics applied to the biosciences.
