The Karr Lab at the Institute for Genomics & Multiscale Biology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a talented, ambitious scientists and engineers to develop technology for building, simulating, and applying cutting-edge whole-cell computational models of individual cells.
We are developing whole-cell computational models which comprehensively predict how behavior emerges from the molecular level by representing all of the biochemical activity inside cells. Our goal is to use whole-cell models to transform bioengineering and medicine into rigorous, quantitative disciplines. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, involving systems biology, genomics, bioinformatics, data integration, parallel simulation, optimization, software engineering, and data visualization, and highly team-oriented.
We are looking for scientists and engineers to help develop several technologies, including a domain-specific language for describing whole-cell models, a parallel multi-algorithmic simulator, scalable tools for visualizing and analyzing high-dimensional simulation results, and tools for handling personal `omics data.

Despite the explosion of data, we do not understand how phenotype arises from genotype. We are developing whole-cell computational models to predict how cell behavior emerges from the molecular level. Our goal is to use whole-cell models to transform bioengineering and medicine into rigorous, quantitative disciplines. Our work is interdisciplinary and team-oriented.
We are looking for an additional team member to develop computational methods and software tools for whole-cell modeling. Examples of tools that we are developing include - An database of biochemical and genomic data for cell modeling and tools for discovering relevant data for modeling; - A framework for scalably designing models; - A simulation web service; - A database for simulation results and tools for mining large-scale simulation results; and - Web-based tools for interactively visualizing simulation results.
Whole-cell modeling is highly interdisciplinary. Consequently, we're looking for team members with a broad range of relevant skills and experience in computational biology, computer science, and software engineering
