The successful candidate will work with Dr. Pressé to develop strategies to infer dynamical models of processes from complex data sets--with resolution down to the single molecule level--inside living systems. Briefly, our goal is to use tools of Computational Statistics and Neural Nets to unravel single molecule dynamics in crowded environments as well as their interactions leading up to protein complex assembly kinetics and function. We infer models from state-of-the-art imaging data sets. As such, our work fosters cross-disciplinary knowledge of optics, computational statistics, numerical analysis, photophysics and biophysics. This postdoc hired here will collaborate closely with experimentalists and graduate students.

Minimum qualifications: Applicants should hold a doctorate in Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Physical Chemistry or related discipline by the time of appointment, but no earlier than five years before the start date. Strong programming skills are required.

Desired qualifications: Knowledge in the following areas is helpful but not required: Computational Statistics, Python/Matlab, Stochastic Processes, and Machine Learning.
