Postdoctoral Position in Artificial Intelligence & Structural Bioinformatics
Job Description
A full-time postdoctoral position (18-month duration) is available immediately in the department of computer science and mathematics at the Lebanese American University. This interdisciplinary project focuses on integrating artificial intelligence and structural bioinformatics approaches to improve drug-induced toxicity prediction. By combining machine learning approaches, particularly deep learning, with analyses of protein sequence, structure, function, and dynamics, the project aims to develop innovative computational frameworks that enhance drug safety assessment and guide rational drug design.
Responsibilities
- Integrate artificial intelligence and structural bioinformatics approaches to improve drug-induced toxicity prediction
- Develop innovative computational frameworks that enhance drug safety assessment and guide rational drug design
- Collaboration with interdisciplinary research teams
- Contribution to high-quality academic publications
- Participation in teaching or mentoring activities as needed
Qualifications
- PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or a closely related field
- Strong research background in structural bioinformatics (protein structure predictions, docking, molecular dynamics simulation …)
- Machine learning, particularly deep learning expertise
- Proven record of publishing in peer-reviewed journals
- Programming and scripting skills in Python and R
- Experience with Linux and Bash scripting
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
