Postdoc position in top-notch biomedical research institute (Harvard/MIT, Cambridge, MA)

Country/Region : USA - United States

Website : http://www.broadinstitute.org/~anne/positions.html

Description

My laboratory (a.k.a. Imaging Platform) at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT has an opening for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher with a strong record of accomplishment in computational research, specifically, a record of machine-learning?related publications in top-tier conferences or journals.
Our lab develops and applies methods for extracting quantitative information from high-throughput biological images. We are best known for creating and maintaining the open-source CellProfiler project, launched more than 100,000 times per year around the world by biologists quantifying biological processes in images. We collaborate with dozens of biomedical research laboratories to identify disease states, potential therapeutics, and gene functions from microscopy images.
We seek a postdoctoral researcher to join our efforts to glean insights from large collections of images. This work is based on the hypothesis that there is much more information present in microscopy images than is commonly perceived by eye. We aim to harvest this information through profiling, developing novel methods to characterize cellular populations at single-cell resolution such that similarities and differences among treatments can be described productively. This work has the potential to transform how both the targets and treatments for disease are identified.
