Position Description
Successful applicants will be supervised by Roy Lederman and affiliated with the Department of Statistics and Data Science, the Department of Applied Mathematics, and the Institute of Quantitative Biology (QBio). Research opportunities are available in the mathematics of data science and machine learning, inverse problems in biology and imaging (such as cryo-Electron Microscopy (cryo-EM)), and numerical and computational mathematics. Collaboration with additional members of the Department of Statistics and Data Science, the Department of Applied Mathematics, the Department of Mathematics, QBio, the Institute for Foundations of Data Science (FDS), and/or the Wu Tsai Institute (WTI), is encouraged. Areas of particular interest include: * Methods for analyzing conformational heterogeneity in cryo-EM * Revisiting statistical aspects of traditional algorithms and emerging machine learning algorithms for modeling physical systems, in particular questions arising in cryo-EM * Combining Molecular Dynamics (or related methods, including machine learning methods) with cryo-EM * Automating the discovery of numerical algorithms, emphasizing the discovery of exploitable structures in linear algebra problems Skills and Qualifications: * Originality, independence, leadership, collegiality, and genuine passion for science. * Ph.D. (or expected Ph.D.) in Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or a related area. Application materials should include: * Research Statement * 3 recommendation letters * Curriculum Vitae * Publication list * Optional: Cover letter, which may include a brief note pointing to specific work or interests related to this ad. Please note that the Mathematics department has a separate application for Gibbs Assistant Professors (NTT) (typically advertised around Oct-Nov at https://www.mathjobs.org/jobs/Yale/GAP). Postdoc positions may also be available at FDS and WTI (https://wti.yale.edu/initiatives/postdoctoral). Applicants for the Gibbs/FDS/WTI positions who qualify for this postdoc position are welcome to apply to both positions. Yale University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity employer. Yale values diversity among its students, staff, and faculty and strongly welcomes applications from women, persons with disabilities, protected veterans, and underrepresented minorities.
