| Position Description | Two postdoctoral positions in biological computation / “algorithms in nature” are available in Dr. Saket Navlakha’s research group at the Simon’s Center for Quantitative Biology at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, NY. We are looking for post-docs broadly interested in studying biological information processing from an algorithmic perspective. The goal is to discover new ideas for computation by studying problem-solving strategies used in nature, and to ground these ideas by fostering deep collaborations with experimental biologists. Most recently, we have been interested in neural circuit computation and plant architecture optimization, but new areas are also welcome. For more information, see: navlakhalab.net. Relevant publications include: 1. A neural algorithm for a fundamental computing problem (Science, 2017) 2. A neural data structure for novelty detection (PNAS, 2018) 3. Plant architectures reflect universal network design principles (Cell Systems, 2017). This position is affiliated with the Simons Center for Quantitative Biology (SCQB). |
