As seen in the 23 December issue of Science:

The laboratory of Dr. Atul Butte at Stanford Medical School is seeking highly motivated investigators to develop and study novel approaches in data-driven biomedical research to discover new biomarkers, therapeutics, and to revolutionize health and health-care. Postdoctoral fellowships are fully funded for at least 2 years.

Ideal candidates will have an M.D. and/or Ph.D. with a strong background in bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, and genomics, excellent communication and programming skills, and a great publication record.

Strong problem-solving skills, creative thinking, and the ability to build new software tools as needed are required. A dual background in both computation and molecular biology or medicine or pharmacology will be a strong plus. Prior experience with genetic, microarray, drug, or clinical databases, text-mining, knowledge representation, or parallel computing platforms is a plus. Applicants must possess good communication skills and be fluent in both spoken and written English.

This exciting work will be guided by multidisciplinary collaborations with top scientists in stem-cell, immunology, diabetes, and cancer biology research at Stanford.

To apply, please send your CV, a brief statement of research interests, and contact information for three references. Contact: Susan Aptekar; E-mail: butte-lab-jobs@lists.stanford.edu
