Postdoctoral Fellow – Integrated Mathematical Oncology

Multiple Postdoctoral Fellow positions are available in the computational lab of Dr. Kasia Rejniak (http://labpages.moffitt.org/rejniakk/ ) on exciting interdisciplinary research projects in metastatic cancer development and immuno-oncology treatments. We seek talented individuals with a PhD and background in applied mathematics, computer sciences, physics or other computational discipline to work in close collaboration with cancer biologists and clinicians within a unique research environment of the Integrated Mathematical Oncology (IMO) Department.

Position Highlights:

• Development of novel predictive mathematical designed for specially collected experimental and clinical data
• Working in close collaboration with cancer biologists, immunologists, and clinicians
• Vibrant, multi-disciplinary and diverse research and education environment

The Ideal Candidate:

• Experience in mathematical or computational methods for modeling biological systems (ODEs, PDEs, ABMs, and/or machine learning), with a preference for those with knowledge of cancer.
• High motivation and enthusiasm for working in an interdisciplinary team.
• Demonstrated creativity and ability to work independently and within the research group.
• Strong programming skills (Matlab, C/C++, Java, Python, R) for modeling and data analysis.

Responsibilities:

• Design and implement computational models, plan, conduct and document simulation results independently; analyze and visualize model results.
• Collaborate with researchers from wet labs to integrate laboratory data with in silico models.
• Develop scientific writing and presentation skills; write research reports and scientific publications.
• Present research results to the Moffitt scientific community and at national or international scientific meetings.

Credentials and Qualifications:

• PhD and background in applied mathematics, engineering, computer sciences, physics, or a related computational discipline.
• Excellent programming skills. 

How to Apply: Interested applicants should send a single PDF file that includes a cover letter summarizing their research training and accomplishments, a personal statement of scientific interests and goals, current CV with recent publications, and contact information for three references to Dr. Rejniak at [email protected] and apply online.
