Positions:
Applications from interested postdoctoral candidates with relevant background and skills are regularly sought.
Please contact Gábor Balázsi if you are interested in a position with our group at Stony Brook University, on Long Island, NY.
Email: first dot last at stonybrook dot edu
Candidates with cross-disciplinary interests are preferred at any level. Physicists interested in understanding living systems, engineers interested in controlling cells, mathematicians interested in modeling biological phenomena, biologists interested in quantitative, principles-based understanding are strongly favored.
Fields relevant to our research are: synthetic biology, systems biology, evolutionary biology, physical biology, cancer biology, bioengineering, nonlinear dynamics, stochastic processes.
PhD students interested in the lab:
1) The safest path ensuring lab membership regardless of the lab's current funding is to join the Ecology and Evolution PhD Program [1].
2) A less certain path to lab membership (highly dependent on the lab's external funding) is to join the Biomedical Engineering PhD Program [2].
3) A third option, similar to the second, is to join the Applied Mathematics & Statistics PhD program, or any program related to the Laufer Center's PQB track: [3]
Undergraduate students interested in the lab:
Typically, undergraduates undergo a fairly long process before they can start working in the wet lab. They need to attend lab meetings for at least 1 semester and convince a senior lab member (advanced PhD student or postdoc) to be their direct supervisor and mentor. That means that the earliest time when someone may start doing experiments may be 2 semesters later - that being the best case scenario if everything works out well.
The process may be quicker for undergraduate candidates with prior experimental research experience (such as past iGEM team members [4]) or students with strong computational and/or mathematical skills.
