Are you looking for an opportunity to acquire new skills in #DataScience? Do you have a great idea for a postdoctoral project? TCD Computer Science and Statistics invites you to apply for an #MSCA European #PostdoctoralFellowship with Prof Mimi Zhang   To submit your expression of interest: https://lnkd.in/d7a_gcNA For info on eligibility and the application process: https://lnkd.in/dW7-Aqub Projects of Interest: Methodological or application-oriented projects related to cluster analysis that aim to advance statistical methods for processing data in real-life scenarios. #MachineLearning #OperationsResearch #ClusterAnalysis #BayesianOptimization #FunctionalDataAnalysis 

#Postdoc Position #USA This Scholar will aid in (1) understanding the mechanisms of substrate decomposition, (2) quantify routes by which organic carbon is decomposed and lost from substrates (solid, liquid, and gas), and (3) understand how the microbial community functions to affect substrate decomposition.

*TIPS FOR THOSE APPLYING FOR DIRECT BS-TO-Ph.D PROGRAMMES* 1️⃣Get a refined research interest. This should be properly articulated in your academic CV. 2️⃣Detail Research Experience: Your research experience consist of your BS project time/work and any other research work(s) you may have been engaged in. Again, in great detail, mention your experience, where you had it and your achievements. 3️⃣Showcase Data Literacy Skills: As a young BS Graduate seeking a PhD position, you will more endearing to PIs and potential supervisors if you have such data literacy skills like computation with Python, R, MATLAB. 4️⃣ Laboratory Techniques/Software Usage ability: Especially in the STEM field, there are defining Laboratory Techniques/Software usage ability that can make you stand out amongst other applicants. Ability with such techniques like DFT and MD computation software will stand you out in Physics, Chemistry, Electronics, Material Science etc. Ability to do PCR, DNA sequencing, Gene editing and analysis will make you competitive in Biological Sciences. 5️⃣ Demonstrate Fit for Programme: To earn a PhD position easily with just your BS, demonstrate strong fit with the PhD programme including alignment with faculty research interests and programme specialization. 6️⃣Submit Strong Letters of Recommendation: Secure very strong letters of recommendation from academic or research mentors who can speak to your abilities and potential. 7️⃣Personal Statement: Craft a compelling personal statement that highlights your research interests goals, motivation for seeking a PhD. 8️⃣Additional Credentials: Certifications, publications, conference presentations will enhance your chances. Submit them during your application. These tips are important consideration if you are applying for a direct PhD position.

There are entry-level jobs and first postdocs application forms that require: 10-15 years of work experience experience of leading projects / acquiring grant funding 1-2 dozens of highly specific skills 10-15 publications in last 3-5 years including ones in "top journals" (for postdocs) completing tests on solving complex problems unpaid test periods completely unrelated requirements (for instance, driver license for bioinformatician position in Europe) And what they usually offer at the end is a temporary contract for 1-3 years. Each time I see this I wonder if this is really "entry-level".

Inbox Q&A Q: I will be graduating next spring with a BS in biology and biochemistry. I took Python too. How do you think I should I go about deciding if lab work or computational biology/bioinformatics is the right direction for me? A: Join a lab to do a research project ASAP. If it’s not too late, challenge yourself to do a senior research thesis in that lab before you graduate. Given how little time you have, your research project can be either wet or dry lab, but probably not a combination of both. If you can’t find a lab to have this research experience in before you graduate, then I would strongly recommend getting a job as a research assistant in a lab for 1-2 years after you graduate. Make sure you join a lab that allows you to try out both wet and dry lab work. #compbio #computationalbiology #bioinformatics

"As we progressed from junior to senior #postdocs, some of us worked slightly more, some of us slightly less, but we all experienced a significant shift in time investment in different aspects of our work. Most noticeably, as they became more senior, CZ experienced a ~3-, 4- and 6-fold increase in relative #workload associated with emails, meetings, and teaching/supervision, respectively. This extends one of the conclusions we drew from our original dataset: not only are no two postdoc jobs the same–even if they exist in the same scientific field–but postdoc job descriptions can also change over time. The daily duties of a junior postdoc can be significantly different from those of a senior postdoc, even if the person stays in the same research group..." https://lnkd.in/gEH5S5NQ Elisa Granato, PhD, Sofia J. van Moorsel, Christoph Ziegenhain
