Research Staff
Modeling/computational immunology Postdoctoral Fellow: To work on continuous and stochastic modeling of gene regulation and on integrating modeling of different compartments of dendritic cell signaling developed by consortium participants. The candidate will interact with both theoreticians in the development of models and experimentalists in their parameterization and testing. The successful candidate will be bright, curious, interactive, and have an understanding of cellular modeling. Applicant must be available for interview. Send CV and three references to: stuart.sealfon@mssm.edu. Mount Sinai School of Medicine is an equal opportunity employer fostering diversity in the workplace. Experimental systems biology/Signal Transduction Postdoctoral Fellow: A candidate is sought to use multivariate single cell genomic and proteomic signaling assays to study the mechanisms and individual variation in the responses of human dendritic cells to infection. Experience with cell biology, genomics, proteomics, signal transduction and immunology is desirable. The successful candidate will be bright, curious, interactive, computer savvy and a meticulous experimentalist. Applicant must be available for interview.
