Postdoctoral Scholar - Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
About The Position
The Mahony lab at The Pennsylvania State University is recruiting a Postdoctoral Scholar to work on an NIH-funded project focused on applying deep neural networks to understand gene regulatory systems. Our lab is primarily focused on understanding how the regulatory activities of transcription factors are affected by cell-specific chromatin environments. The postdoctoral research project will develop concept-based neural network interpretability approaches that can interpret the biological determinants of regulatory genomics signals. We will apply these techniques in collaborative projects to understand regulatory dynamics in cell differentiation systems. The Mahony lab is part of the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at the main campus of The Pennsylvania State University. We are core members of the Center for Eukaryotic Gene Regulation and the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics, which offer excellent environments for pursuing postdoctoral research in regulatory genomics.
Requirements
- Prior experience developing neural network applications and/or developing regulatory genomics analysis methods is required.
- A Ph.D. in a relevant field is required.
Responsibilities
- Develop concept-based neural network interpretability approaches that can interpret the biological determinants of regulatory genomics signals.
- Apply these techniques in collaborative projects to understand regulatory dynamics in cell differentiation systems.
Benefits
- Competitive benefits package for full-time employees designed to support both personal and professional well-being.
