1. Domain knowledge on the biological side to understand the input to analyze the data that’s necessary.
2. Automating their current pipeline (semi-automated), Containerization, workflows to deliver, implement and deploy the pipeline which is written in Python and R. The pipeline automated workflow is so that the toxicologist will get the results without having to involve the data scientists.
Project Scope:
· When they do gene expression analysis, they extract example from an animal and then send it to lab.
· Then run a sequence, get raw sequencing files. (Eduardo the hiring manager does not do this part of the process)
· From the files that come from the machine, this candidate should be familiar with the files aligning to the genome. (already code in place)

R&D Postdoctoral Challenge
AstraZeneca
AstraZeneca has announced the launch of the 2023 R&D Postdoctoral Challenge, an initiative designed to accelerate ideas to transform the treatment of some of the world’s most complex diseases.
The R&D Postdoctoral Challenge has been designed to drive R&D productivity, promote diversity of thought and stimulate research opportunities across the globe. Unlike standard postdoctoral positions, the Challenge encourages applicants from anywhere around the world to devise their own research projects and help advance the next wave of therapeutics for people who need them most. This follows the success of the inaugural 2022 programme in which six finalists were awarded fully funded research positions within the Company.
Submissions for the 2023 Challenge are open to final-year MD and/or PhD students and postdoctoral researchers until 30 June and successful candidates will compete to be awarded a fully funded postdoctoral research position and join the vibrant scientific community within AstraZeneca. Working alongside a leading university, researchers will also receive access to in-house expertise, compounds, novel tools and technologies and mentoring support to develop their ideas and innovate.
Prof. Sir Mene Pangalos, Executive Vice President, BioPharmaceuticals R&D, AstraZeneca, said: “Our ambition through the R&D Postdoctoral Challenge is to promote a rich tapestry of ideas and create a diverse, global community of researchers with access to AstraZeneca’s cutting-edge facilities and world-leading expertise. Last year, we were able to support all six of our finalists, and I am looking forward to seeing this year’s entries and helping even more early-career scientists translate their ideas into meaningful benefits for patients.”
Shortlisted applicants will have the chance to pitch their research ideas to a panel consisting of AstraZeneca leaders and external life science leaders in September, with the selection of finalists decided later in the year. Proposals will be reviewed based on scientific merit, and their potential to create real impact for patients, society and healthcare systems.
Further information on the R&D Postdoctoral Challenge, including entry criteria and details on how to submit innovative research proposals, can be found at:
https://openinnovation.astrazeneca.com/rd-postdoctoral-challenge.html.
The R&D Postdoctoral Challenge forms part of AstraZeneca’s Early Talent programmes, nurturing the science leaders of tomorrow and encouraging diversity of thought within an environment that enables science to thrive.

Biodefense Data Analyst (Bioinformatics/Biostatistics)
Indian Head, MD
The Navy biodefense modeling and simulation project aims to estimate the degree to which individual susceptibility can be predicted from long term sampling data reflecting human and animal microbiomes in prolonged isolation in a built environment. The project will also estimate the contributions of genetics and individual microbiome to infection susceptibility and collective colonization resistance.

Data would be obtained from published human and animal models of infection in the context of microbiome data and strain-transmission data.
The overall outcome of the project is to determine whether the design of facilities has a measurable impact on infection control from microbiome data collected at hospitals and other built environments.
Roles/Responsibilities:
· QC and process microbiome sequence data in support of project objectives
· Use bioinformatics pipelines and statistical models to analyze diverse microbiome data and associated metadata
· Communicate results of findings via data visualizations, report writing and presentations
· Collaborate with other scientists across DoD on microbiome data processing and analyses, and pipeline development
Required Skills and Education:
· Bachelor's degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, genetics, molecular biology computer science, statistics, biostatistics, math, or in a related field
· Experience with programming languages including Python and R
· Experience using bioinformatics pipelines to process and analyze microbiome data
Preferred Skills and Education:
· Graduate degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, genetics, molecular biology computer science, statistics, biostatistics, math, or in a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
· Experience conducting computational modeling of infectious diseases using programming language such as MATLAB, Mathematica, R, SAS, or Stata
· Experience in high performance computing environments
· Experience using software development and version control tools such as Git/GitHub

Postdoc Position
Tufts University
Tufts University has openings for a post-doctoral researcher to engage
in a cross-cutting project focusing on the development of machine
learning models and algorithms to advance precision medicine in the
area of anti- microbial resistance (AMR); i.e., the increasing ability
of bacteria, fungi, and other micro-organisms to develop resistance to
a range of antibiotics and other drugs. Current work is focused on
the development of combination therapies adapted to the specifics of
the case-in-hand. Such efforts lead naturally to a pair of related
learning problems: prediction of clinical outcomes from a given course
of treatment and determination of an optimal treatment strategy (which
drugs in which amounts as a function of time) to achieve a desired
clinical outcome both of which are hampered by the availability of
relatively small sets of data. The project will involve collaboration
with investigators with expertise in machine learning and signal
processing, basic cell biology and biological engineering, as well as
clinical immunology and infectious disease.
Applicants must have a PhD in electrical engineering, computer
science, applied mathematics, statistics, or a similar field. The
ideal candidates will have experience with and a publication record in
one or more of the following areas: modern methods of statistical
signal processing, machine learning, optimization, or data science.
Programming experience in Matlab or python is preferred.
For more information about this position, please email Prof. Eric
Miller (eric.miller@tufts.edu) and Prof. Bree Aldridge
(bree.aldridge@tufts.edu). Interested candidates should provide
Prof. Miller with a copy of their CV, list of references, cover
letter, and copies of relevant articles, theses, technical reports
etc.

Postdoc Position
Basque Center for Applied Mathematics
This work is framed within the Basque government funded Elkartek
project M-KONTAK, in which several agents of the Basque Science,
Technology and Innovation Network (including BCAM) are involved. The
purpose of M-KONTAK is the development of a multi-scale modelling
methodology to fundamentally understand the behavior of steels in
hydrogen-rich environments. In BCAM, we will be focusing on the
atomistic modelling of Hydrogen-induced embrittlement (HE), which can
significantly reduce the ductility and load-bearing capacity and cause
cracking and catastrophic brittle failures at stresses below the yield
stress.
The postdoctoral fellow will combine density functional theory with
kinetic Monte Carlo and/or Molecular Dynamics to simulate hydrogen
diffusion at steel grain boundaries, with the aim of extracting
kinetic and thermodynamic parameters that can be employed by our
partners in continuous phase field models to understand the influence
of morphology, temperature, and composition on HE at a microscopic
scale.
Deadline: 30 September 2022

Computer Science and related disciplines.
Skills and track record: Good interpersonal skills. Demonstrated
ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative research
team. Ability to effectively communicate and present research ideas
to researchers and stakeholders with different backgrounds. Fluency
in spoken and written English.

skills in structurally similar languages such as Python, MATLAB, C++
or Ruby may be considered. Background in optimization
methods. Specific knowledge in metaheuristic techniques such as
simulated annealing of harmonic search is highly desirable.
