Job Summary
The Bosch Lab at the University of Utah (https://www.boschlab.com/) invites applications for a computational post-doctoral position to support projects related to biomolecular interaction prediction using AI tools. The Bosch Lab studies projects related to organ-organ communication. Our aim is to discover and study proteins in blood circulation - to understand which cells release them, where they go, what they do. In addition to using experimental wet-lab tools, we also develop software tools to identify novel hormones and receptors by running AI models (e.g. AlphaFold) on large-scale at high performance data centers. The software tools we have developed are of broad use to the scientific community, and we are looking for a post-doc to maintain and expand these tools.
Necessary Skills
- Experience with the command-line (e.g. Linux)
- Programming (e.g. Python)
Minimum Qualifications
- PhD in biology or computer science or similar
Preferences
- A late-stage PhD student or recent PhD graduate
- Demonstrated publication and funding record during PhD work
- Demonstrated skills in written and verbal communication (e.g. keeping a lab notebook, email correspondence, slide presentations)
- Experience running jobs on high performance data centers (e.g. SLURM)
- Experience using AI protein structure models (e.g. AlphaFold)
