Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world‑class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community.
Description Help design and conduct research within a specified field while receiving advanced training from a designated Principal Investigator to enhance professional skills and research independence needed for a career. The specific area of research in which the trainee is mentored is determined by the department and laboratory of the Postdoc. Design and evaluate experiments, develop new ideas that promote current research, prepare and publish scientific manuscripts under the direction of the Principal Investigator, operate specific equipment, teach techniques to others, train, and supervise research staff. The appointment is temporary for one year, renewable if progress is satisfactory and funds are available, and cannot exceed five years.
We are seeking a highly motivated scholar to continue training in an exciting laboratory focused on exploring molecular functionality encoded in genome data. This project involves building deep learning models to explore the alphabet of very short protein tiles across all aspects of life, evaluating the uncertainty of short representations produced by existing protein language models (pLMs), and proposing means of improving these representations for our tasks. The work will enhance understanding of pLM learned representation space and provide deeper insight into structural, functional, and evolutionary organization across protein space, in collaboration with Dr. Amarda Shehu’s lab at George Mason University.
Minimum Qualifications
A doctoral degree (Ph.D., M.D., Sc.D., D.V.M., DDS, etc.) in an appropriate field.
Excellent scientific writing ability and strong oral communication skills.
Ability to work effectively and collegially with colleagues.
Additional qualifications as specified by the Principal Investigator.
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, or related fields. Candidates with non‑bioinformatics degrees but possessing the necessary computational skill‑sets are welcome to apply. Programming skills are required, as well as experience with machine learning, and familiarity with major bioinformatics tools/databases. Experience with high performance computing and protein function and/or structure analysis is highly desired but not required. Candidates should be fluent in spoken and written English and able to communicate ideas well. The ability to integrate into a team is essential.
NOTE: Position tasks are required to be performed in‑person at an Emory University location; working remotely is not an option. Emory reserves the right to change this status with notice to employee.
