About this position
Postdoctoral Scholar in Computational Biology at Pennsylvania State University, within the Huck Institutes of the Life Sciences and the National Synthesis Center for Emergence in the Molecular and Cellular Sciences (NCEMS).
This NSF-funded interdisciplinary center works at the interface of data science, molecular and cellular biology, and quantitative physical sciences. The successful postdoctoral scholar will conduct original research in computational biology using large-scale public datasets, including multi-omics integration, biological data harmonization, systems-level analysis, and related methods that support NCEMS scientific goals.
The role is full-time and on-site at the Penn State University Park campus in the United States; remote work is not permitted. The appointment is a term position funded for one year from the date of hire, with a strong possibility of renewal for multiple years depending on mutual agreement and funding availability.
Eligibility highlights: a PhD in Computational Biology or Systems Biology is required. Applicants should have strong Python and/or R skills, experience with large biological datasets, familiarity with public repositories such as NCBI, GEO, SRA, ENA, and UniProt, and a strong publication record. The post also seeks independent, collaborative researchers with strong communication skills.
How to apply: submit a single PDF application including a cover letter and CV. External applicants should apply through the Workday link provided; current Penn State employees or students must apply internally through Workday.
