font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">We are seeking a
postdoctoral candidate to fill a position on a newly funded NIH
project aimed at developing visual tools for understanding
molecular/biomarker signatures of preeclampsia, a significant
disorder of pregnancy. Current diagnosis and treatment for
preeclampsia is entirely driven by gross clinical symptoms, with
an unfortunately high rate of suboptimal outcomes. Far more
information about the actual state of a preeclamptic pregnancy
is available in proteomic and other biomarker signatures, yet
there are currently no models or tools available to use these
data for diagnosis and treatment planning.</p>
<p style="margin: 0px 0px 20px; color: rgb(68, 68, 68);
font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The postdoctoral researcher
will be directly and deeply involved in implementing a new model
of preeclampsia based on data-derived networks of interacting
proteomic signatures, and developing a tool that enables
clinicians to place their patient in the model and accurately
categorize their clinical phenotype at a molecular level. Our
current preliminary models and analysis tools are
visual-analytic/exploratory-visualization approaches, based in
Linear Discriminant Analysis and Conditional Random Fields, and
the postdoctoral researcher will be directly responsible for
extending these tools and improving both the visualizations and
the underlying analytic framework.</p>

should hold a Ph.D. or equivalent in Computer
Science/Visualization/Visual Analytics, Computational
Biology/Bioinformatics, or similar relevant domains with
strong computational components. Experience with OpenGL
programming in Python (our current implementation is in
Python) or C/C++ is highly desirable, as is proficiency in
working and programming in a heterogenous Unix environment.
Experience with Perl, relational or object-oriented databases,
and graphical probabilistic models will be a plus.</span></div>
