     The Pressé lab at Arizona State University is seeking 2-3
     postdoctoral team members for work in Statistical Inference in
     Biophysics. Start date is flexible.

     The successful candidate will work with Dr. Pressé’s team to develop
     computational strategies to learn dynamical models—with resolution
     down to the single molecule level—often within living systems.
     Briefly, our goal is to use tools of Statistics, including but not
     limited to Bayesian nonparametrics, to unravel single molecule
     dynamics in crowded environments as well as their interactions
     leading up to molecular complex assembly kinetics and function. We
     infer models from state-of-the-art imaging data sets acquired from
     collaborators. As such, our work fosters cross-disciplinary
     knowledge of optics, computational statistics, numerical analysis,
     and biophysics. The postdocs hired will collaborate closely with
     experimentalists and graduate students.

     Strong programming skills are required and knowledge in the
     following areas is helpful but not required: Python/Matlab,
     stochastic processes, computational statistics, machine learning.

     To apply, please send electronically to spresse at asu.edu
     <mailto:spresse at asu.edu> the following materials: a cover letter
     (which includes a brief summary of research experience and
     interests) and a CV (with publication list). Applications should be
     submitted as one complete attachment. Please have 3 reference
     letters sent by letter writers directly to the same email address as
     above. For more information about the position, please contact Steve
     Pressé directly.

     Ph.D. completed 4 or fewer years ago in Applied
     Mathematics,Statistics, Computational Physics, Computer Science or
     related discipline is required.
