This position is supported for a period of two years through a project funded by the NOAA Global Ocean Monitoring and Observing (GOMO) program.

The primary objective of this role is to undertake a comprehensive investigation to quantify the impact of various ocean observations on the accuracy and robustness of the Marine JEDI analysis system. A main focus involves systematically evaluating how the assimilation of diverse oceanographic data affects the initial state of the ocean models. This analysis is fundamental to understanding and ultimately enhancing the skill of coupled ocean-atmosphere models used for tropical cyclone and hurricane prediction. The incumbent is expected to: (1) Perform ocean Observing System Experiments (OSEs) to assess the impact of ocean observations, particularly in-situ observations from various platforms, such as gliders, on ocean analysis; (2) Conduct ocean OSEs for hurricane forecasts, using weakly coupled data assimilation integrated into the coupled Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS). The appointee will work closely with scientific advisors at the PhOD, as well as partners at the Hurricane Research Division of NOAA/AOML and at the Environmental Modeling Center (EMC) of the U.S. National Weather Service.

Department Specific Functions

Duties include but are not limited to:

  • Improve existing high-resolution Modular Ocean Model version6 (MOM6) regional model to minimize model errors.
  • Conduct MOM6 analysis using the Marine JEDI data assimilation (DA) system with a variational DA approach.
  • Perform ocean OSEs, with various DA cycling and different data windows, and conduct hurricane predictions using the coupled Hurricane Analysis and Forecast System (HAFS).
  • Analyze results and present findings in scientific meetings and publish results in peer-reviewed journals.

Minimum Qualifications

  • Applicants must have a Ph.D. in oceanography, applied mathematics, statistics or closely related discipline.
  • Required skills include a demonstrated experience with running numerical ocean, atmosphere, or coupled Earth system model, and/or data assimilation, and also include trouble shooting capabilities.
  • Desirable skills include working knowledge of Linux, FORTRAN, Python and C++; experience with machine learning, parallel computing and high-performance computing environments, and GPU programming.
  • Necessary skills include knowledge of data processing using software (e.g., Matlab, R, IDL) and/or statistical/mathematical programming languages (e.g., R, Matlab, Python).
  • The incumbent must have a proven publication record, scientific writing skills, and communication skills.
  • The successful candidate must be able to work independently as well as collaboratively with internal and external partners.

The Luque Lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Biology for a collaborative project in physical virology. The Luque lab has recently developed an interdisciplinary approach that integrates theoretical biophysics, molecular dynamics, machine learning, and bioinformatics to predict the capsid structures of uncultured viruses. The research for this position aims to extend this approach to identify optimal assembly conditions for viral capsid assembly fromuncultured viruses. This requires integrating AI-based molecular tools, capsid architectural modeling, classical nucleation theory, molecular dynamics simulations, and protein expression.

The ideal candidate will have a background in mathematical biology, computational biophysics, and protein engineering. However, candidates with a strong research record in any of the project's key areas and an interest in developing other project's key skills are welcome. Experience in phage biology, imaging methods, or bioinformatics is a plus. Other qualifications that will be considered are a background in statistical methods, a strong work ethic, the ability to work in multidisciplinary, collaborative teams, and a track record of publications. The candidate must be willing to mentor students.

Department Specific Functions

This position offers an exciting opportunity to develop cutting-edge AI-enhanced algorithms for analyzing transposable elements (TEs) in cancer epigenomics, with direct translational applications to precision oncology and immunotherapy.

Transposable elements constitute approximately half of mammalian genomes and have emerged as central players in cancer biology, immune regulation, and therapeutic development. Their repetitive nature creates a fundamental computational barrier: sequenced reads cannot be uniquely mapped to specific loci, forcing researchers to discard 5–30% of sequencing data or rely on family-level averages that obscure critical locus-specific regulatory dynamics.

This project addresses these challenges through an integrated computational and biological framework that develops advanced multi-read allocation algorithms leveraging artificial intelligence to achieve locus-level resolution at TEs. The therapeutic relevance is direct: our work will enable rational design of TE-targeted epigenetic interventions, refine TE-based biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, and inspire new therapeutic strategies exploiting viral mimicry for cancer immunotherapy. The team actively collaborates with the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center experimental laboratories.

  • Lead implementation of multi-read allocation algorithms and AI model development
  • Conduct comprehensive benchmarking across diverse datasets, organisms, and genomic contexts
  • Develop, document, and release production-quality software packages
