	Postdoctoral Research Position		Company Name Singapore-MIT Alliance Job Description Three researchers are sought for regarding investigations in the area of data management and mining in systems biology. Each researcher will contribute to one of three complementary research projects funded by Singapore-MIT Alliance (SMA).The research focus of these three positions is any one of the following topics: Investigate efficient and scalable techniques for building storage and query tools for biological data. A key goal is to build tools that can enhance the usability of the system by biologists. Investigate efficient and scalable techniques for in-silico combinational drug therapy. Investigate efficient and scalable techniques for summarizing and comparing protein interaction/molecular network data. The positions are in a motivated, cooperative, and friendly team consisting of doctoral students. The projects are led by Assoc/P Sourav S Bhowmick of NTU and Prof C Forbes Dewey, Jr of MIT, USA and have collaboration with biologists and computation biologists. The team is dedicated to the training of young researchers especially research assistants and doctoral students. The candidate will closely work with doctoral students and project leaders. The School of Computer engineering of the Nanyang Technological University, of which the team is a part, is dynamic and engaged in various research activities. Requirements Applicant must have a computer science/engg. Degree/Master degree from a good University with very good grades. Undergraduate may apply. A good knowledge of data management techniques, algorithms, and data mining (optional) is required. Knowledge of biology is not mandatory for Project 1. It is preferable to have basic understanding of biology for projects 2 and 3. Excellence, reliability, capability of independent as well as team work, aptitude to theoretical as well as practical work, very good programming skills, very good control of the English language are expected and able to start immediately. Remuneration & Benefits Gross salary will range from S$35,000 yearly, commensurate with qualifications and experience. Leave and medical benefits will be provided. Term of Appointment For a start, contract is limited to June 2010.
