Postdoctoral positions in Quantitative Biology

Job Description

• Full-time postdoctoral research role at Stony Brook University focused on the mathematical and computational theory of stochastic gene expression; salary is $61K–$72K a year.
• Develop methods connecting single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data with mechanistic, biophysically grounded models of gene regulation.
• Derive steady-state and time-dependent mRNA/protein distributions, first-passage-time distributions, and mutual information rates using Markovian and non-Markovian frameworks.
• Requires a PhD or foreign equivalent in Applied Mathematics, Physics, Theoretical/Computational Biology, Bioengineering, or a closely related quantitative field, plus proficiency in Python, MATLAB, Mathematica, Julia, R, or C/C++.
• Preferred qualifications include experience with Chemical Master Equations, stochastic simulation algorithms, approximation methods, transcriptomic data analysis, machine/deep learning applied to biological data, and first-author publications.
