Smita Krishnaswamy, a UM PhD graduate in CSE, is hiring post-docs and researchers for her lab at Yale, joint with Genetics and Computer Science. She is especially targeting Math PhDs, among others. Her message below:
The Krishnaswamy Laboratory at Yale University is recruiting senior
scientist / postdoctoral researchers with a background in machine
learning, deep learning, applied math or signal processing. Our group
is jointly affiliated with the Department of Genetics in the Yale
School of Medicine and the Department of Computer Science in School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Our group is also affiliated with
the the Program in Applied Math, the Yale Institute for Network
Science, Yale Cancer Center, and the Yale Center for Biomedical Data
Science.
The focus of our group is developing machine learning and applied
mathematical techniques for extracting structure and patterns in
high-dimensional and high-throughput biomedical data. Our recent
projects include algorithms for: data denoising (Cell 2018), data
generation (NeurIPS 2018), deep learning-based manifold alignment
(ICML 2018), data visualization, and developing software for single
cell analysis. The projects in the lab tend to be flexible, seeking
computationally novel solutions to new problems that are motivated by
the explosion of new biomedical measurement technologies and collected patient data. As such we work with data from many disciplines,
including genomics, electronic health records, and neuro-imaging.
The lab maintains active collaborations with research groups in the
Departments of Immunology, Neuroscience, Genetics, Neurology,
Radiation Oncology, and Endocrinology as well as outside institutions
like Weill Cornell and the Salk Institute. Our group publishes in
top-tier computational venues (such as NeurIPS and ICML) and
biomedical journals (such as Cell and Nature family journals).
Candidates who apply should have a Ph.D. in Math, Computer
Science, Electrical Engineering or related field. Prior experience in
biological research is not required, but interest in collaborating
with biologists and physicians is essential.
