DESCRIPTION:
The Center for Computational Biology (CCB) of the Simons Foundation's Flatiron Institute is actively seeking enthusiastic, full-time post-doctoral Flatiron Research Fellows to join its Genomics group.
The goal at CCB is to advance the understanding of fundamental and historically challenging biological processes by developing theory, innovative modeling tools for large-scale biophysical simulations, and computational frameworks for analyzing increasingly large and complex experimental datasets. Living systems are built hierarchically; as such, CCB's research activities span several scales of biological organization, bridging the gap between microscopic detail and large-scale behaviors, and providing natural continuity between our groups' efforts. CCB currently comprises more than 45 research and data scientists at career stages from recent Ph.D. graduates through senior scientists, as well as visiting scientists, guest researchers, graduate students, interns, and administrative support staff. For a full description of CCB research areas and scientific staff, please see our website.
The Genomics group works to interpret genomes and distill the immensely complex networks that form the foundation of human biology and disease, through accurate machine learning models. Current areas of interest include developing deep learning approaches for genome interpretation; development of methods for multi-omic and spatial data analysis and integration with phenotypic and clinical data; and machine learning and AI approaches for network modeling and regulatory module detection. These and other methods are developed in tight collaboration with experimental biologists, biomedical scientists, and clinicians and are applied to specific biological problems, both fundamental and biomedical.

The primary objective of the Biological Transport Networks group is to unravel the intricate relationships among the architecture of transport networks, their physical and developmental constraints, and their contribution to the overall fitness of the organisms they serve. Ultimately, we seek to integrate computation, theory and experimental data to bridge our micro- and mesoscopic knowledge of living processes and the intricacies of large-scale networks. By doing so, we aspire to unveil biological principles that can provide insights into comparative physiology across different species. Of particular interest is the modeling of transport networks across multiple scales, including their function, development and remodeling. We employ advanced computational and theoretical techniques, such as large scale flow network simulations, machine learning, and methods from topological data analysis, to a broad set of problems. Examples include modeling vertebrate and invertebrate circulatory systems, building transport-informed models for neuron growth and maturation, quantifying large datasets of the microvasculature, and understanding and incorporating the effects of nonlinearities into networks of vessels.

The Developmental Dynamics group combines experiments, theory and computing to elucidate the contributions of encoded genomic instructions and self-organizing physical mechanisms to embryonic development. Its theoretical and computational work is designed to integrate and abstract rapidly accumulating heterogeneous datasets, to propose critical tests of multiscale regulatory mechanisms, and to guide our own genetic and imaging experiments. The group's research is organized around three main themes: the mechanistic modeling of pattern formation and morphogenesis; the synthesis and decomposition of developmental trajectories; and the modeling of human developmental defects.
We are looking for candidates interested in data-driven modeling of biological systems, especially in the context of behavioral changes during postembryonic development. We have devised a throughput approach for recording such changes in Drosophila and are evaluating a range of data analysis and modeling for data mining.

The Biophysical Modeling group focuses on the modeling and simulation of complex systems that arise in biology and soft condensed matter physics. Areas of interest include the dynamics of complex and active materials, and aspects of collective behavior and self-organization in both natural systems (e.g., inside the cell) and synthetic ones. Ongoing projects focus on understanding the organization and dynamics of the nucleus, the structure and assembly of spindles, the positioning and transport of cellular organelles, and fluid-structure problems in biology. To address these, often in close collaboration with experimental collaborators, we build numerical and theoretical models from the ground up, revealing how the known mechanics of individual components give rise to collective behavior. Many such phenomena occur only within dense, highly interacting systems, inaccessible to standard techniques. To probe such regimes requires the development of fast and scalable algorithms for many-component systems, and of coarse-grained models that can be analyzed and simulated.
Strong applicants with backgrounds in applied and computational mathematics, biophysics, engineering, statistical inference, and related fields are particularly encouraged to apply.

***Temporary contract | 24 months | Belvaux Are you passionate about research? So are we! Come and join us***
The Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) is a Research and Technology Organization (RTO) active in the fields of materials, environment and IT. By generating relevant scientific knowledge and converting knowledge into technologies, smart data and tools, LIST empowers citizens in their choices, public authorities in their decisions and businesses in their strategies.
Trees and particularly the conifers of northern hemisphere play crucial roles for the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle. However, a general understanding of fundamental C-fluxes between cells and tissues within plant organs is largely lacking. In an increasingly stressing environment, such science is needed for assessing the ability of different plants to maintain their cellular homeostasis.
In the framework of the interdisciplinary research project microC-flux (https://www.wsl.ch/en/projects/diel-c-fluxes-within-needles-from-conifer-trees), we use cutting edge technology to investigate the dynamics of freshly assimilated carbon and its transport from the assimilation sites in mesophyll of conifer needles, through the transfer tissues, to the phloem export sites and further, towards other tree organs. In collaboration with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL, we combine pulse-chase tracer experiments with quantitative microscopical analysis and physics-based modelling to understand how conifers solve the challenge of solute transport against the flow of water through the needle, and what anatomical and functional features are key for resistance to drought.

How will you contribute?
Building on the extensive experimental data gathered and processed by a doctoral candidate in the project, you will extend the existing open-source Model of Explicit Cross-section Hydraulic Anatomy (MECHA) to simulate water and solute transport in pine needles and explicitly represent starch pool dynamics in the 1) mesophyll, 2) the inner tissues within the vascular bundle and 3) the endodermis as the tissue at the interface between the vascular bundle and mesophyll. In its original version, MECHA simulates water and solute transport as a 3-dimensional process, differentiating between apoplastic and symplastic transport. Since MECHA was originally developed to simulate water and solute transport in roots, part of this task will be to introduce gaseous transport of water and CO2, and transitory starch pools. Model development will be performed in collaboration with the developers of MECHA at UC Louvain and plant ecophysiologists and anatomists at WSL, necessitating episodic visits to Louvain-la-Neuve and Switzerland. You will share the model code in the public domain and publish scientific papers in reputed journals on the insights gained through the model-assisted hypothesis testing performed in the microC-flux project.
