PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Computational Biology in United States

Indiana University Bloomington invites applications for a postdoctoral research position in the laboratory of Dr. David Kehoe in the Department of Biology. The project investigates the DNA-binding activity of a new class of photoreceptors in marine Synechococcus , combining DNA/protein biochemistry with computational approaches. The research will determine the DNA-binding sites and light-color-regulated binding activities of two novel photoreceptors identified as master regulators of Type 4 Chro...

This research opportunity at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service in Kerrville, Texas focuses on the Asian longhorned tick ( Haemaphysalis longicornis ) and the poorly understood mechanisms of somatic sex differentiation in this invasive ectoparasite. The participant will work on a computational and molecular biology project aimed at integrating large datasets to predict gene interactions and uncover regulatory networks involved in sex determination. The project emp...

This postdoctoral fellowship is hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service at the Subtropical Horticulture Research Station in Miami, Florida. The project focuses on improving disease resistance in cacao ( Theobroma cacao ) by combining molecular plant pathology with computational biology and AI-enabled analysis. The research centers on understanding cacao defense mechanisms and identifying genetic and molecular factors that can strengthen resistance against pat...

The Zhang Lab at Saint Louis University is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow for research at the intersection of bioinformatics, comparative genomics, structural analysis, and machine learning.
