Subject: Summer internship in computational systems biology @ Mt Sinai in NYC
Date: March 16, 2017 at 12:32:16 PM EDT


I'm an MIT alum (SB Physics '06, SB Brain & Cognitive Sciences '06) and an Assistant Professor at Mount Sinai in New York. My lab focuses on developing comprehensive mechanistic models of individual cells. I'd love to host 1-2 students in my lab this summer.

Regards
Jonathan

Despite the explosion of data, we do not understand the details of how phenotype arises from genotype. We are developing whole-cell computational models to comprehensively 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 research is highly interdisciplinary, involving systems biology, genomics, bioinformatics, parallel simulation, and software engineering.

Project
The student will help develop computational models of individual cells. This will include aggregating and organizing data; designing, testing, and calibrating models; and developing software tools to enable researchers more comprehensive models. The candidate will also have opportunities to participate in group meetings and attend seminars. The candidate will work closely with Prof. Karr and our postdoctoral fellows.

Desired interests/skills
We're looking for team members with a strong interest and skills in systems and computational biology.

Dates and duration
The internship will be full-time for 10 weeks The start and end dates are flexible.

Stipend
The stipend for the 10-week internship is $6,800.

Housing
Unfortunately, we are not able to offer housing.
