I wanted to pass along information about the Insight Data Science and Data Engineering Fellows Programs in case you don't have it already. I finished the Data Science program a few months ago, and it was a hugely efficient way of getting into the field. Jerome Nilmeier (also from Matt's group) is currently a fellow in the Data Engineering program. Anyway, the applications are due soon, and I'd be happy to talk to Biophysics or BMI people about the program, the application process and/or working as a Data Scientist. :) Monica ===================== Insight Data Science and Engineering Fellows Programs http://insightdatascience.com http://insightdataengineering.com Applications due soon for January 2015 Silicon Valley and New York programs The demand for data scientists and engineers is increasing rapidly. Companies need to be able to process, query, and make sense of the large volumes of information that are generated each day. The Insight Data Science Fellows Program is a training fellowship for graduate students and postdocs designed to bridge the gap between academia and a career in data science. The Insight Data Engineering Fellows Program is a training fellowship for individuals with software engineering or strong coding backgrounds (no PhD required) who want to work with the latest big data infrastructure and pipeline technologies. Insight highlights: -- 6 week, full-time, data science and engineering training fellowships. -- Dedicated office space, self-directed, project-based learning under the guidance of top industry data professionals. -- Over 100 Insight Fellow alumni are now working at companies like Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Yelp, Square, AT&T, Twitter, LinkedIn, Airbnb, Palantir, Intuit, Netflix and many startups. -- Interview at top companies in Silicon Valley or New York City immediately following the program. The January 2015 session application deadlines are: October 12 for Data Science - apply at http://insightdatascience.com October 27 for Data Engineering - apply at http://insightdataengineering.com ===================== Please feel free to forward this to any appropriate mailing lists or to anyone who might be a good candidate for the Insight Fellows Program. Questions about the program or application should be directed to info(a)insightdatascience.com or info(a)insightdataengineering.com. Matthew P. Jacobson Professor, Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences California Institute for Quantitative Biosciences Institute for Neurodegenerative Diseases Director, Graduate Group in Biophysics UCSF MC 2540 1700 4th St., Byers Hall, Room 408E San Francisco, CA 94158-2330 matt.jacobson(a)ucsf.edu<mailto:matt.jacobson@ucsf.edu> jacobsonlab.org<http://jacobsonlab.org>

Begin forwarded message: From: David Mobley <dmobley(a)uci.edu<mailto:dmobley@uci.edu>> Subject: Mobley lab seeking postdoctoral candidates Date: September 24, 2014 3:45:54 PM PDT To: David Mobley <dmobley(a)mobleylab.org<mailto:dmobley@mobleylab.org>> Bcc: <matt.jacobson(a)ucsf.edu<mailto:matt.jacobson@ucsf.edu>> Dear Colleague, I need your help identifying potential candidates for a postdoctoral research position in my group in the Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. If you have suitable candidates with experience in molecular simulations and/or molecular modeling who might be interested, please pass on the below information. Thanks so much for your valuable time. Advertisement: I seek a postdoctoral candidate with experience in molecular simulations or molecular modeling to work on an exciting research project at the interface of molecular modeling and drug discovery. The research will focus on applying molecular modeling techniques - including free energy techniques developed in the lab and elsewhere - to applications in ongoing drug discovery efforts with experimental collaborators. Some of the work may have a methodological focus as well (as has much of our previous work in this area), but this particular position will have a heavy emphasis on applications to pharmaceutically relevant targets. An ideal candidate would have substantial background in molecular modeling, ideally including molecular dynamics simulations and/or Monte Carlo, as well as experience with library search techniques such as docking and potentially informatics-based methods. Experience with free energy techniques is also a plus. Interested applicants should send a cover letter plus a CV to dmobley(a)uci.edu<mailto:dmobley@uci.edu>. Additionally, please have at least three letters of reference sent to the same address as well. All application materials should be received by Oct. 24, 2014. Prospective applicants are welcome to contact me for more information. The exact start date is negotiable, and the position is available immediately. UC Irvine provides exciting opportunities for work in this area. We have a variety of computational groups in several different departments with whom we interact frequently, and groups doing outstanding experimental work in the area as well. Indeed, this project will involve collaborations with at least two different experimental groups at UCI. The area is also renowned for its excellent weather, quality of life, and safety, and, together with the nearby San Diego area, also is home to a fairly wide range of pharmaceutical industry employers. Thank you so much. -- David Mobley Associate Professor Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences Department of Chemistry 3134B Natural Sciences I University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697 dmobley(a)uci.edu<mailto:dmobley@uci.edu> work (949) 824-6383 cell (949) 385-2436 http://www.mobleylab.org<http://www.mobleylab.org/> Matthew P.

Begin forwarded message: From: "Bowman, Greg" <bowman(a)biochem.wustl.edu<mailto:bowman@biochem.wustl.edu>> Subject: postdoc positions Date: August 21, 2014 11:25:53 AM PDT To: "Jacobson, Matt" <Matt.Jacobson(a)ucsf.edu<mailto:Matt.Jacobson@ucsf.edu>> Dear Matt, Would you mind sharing this brief ad with anyone in your group who might be looking for a postdoctoral position in computational biophysics? I’m currently looking for postdocs who share my passion for understanding the physical mechanisms of protein conformational changes, their role in signaling, and how they are modulated by drugs and mutations. We are currently working to understand and combat the evolution of antibiotic resistance, to understand the phototransduction signaling cascade and the effects of mutations associated with blinding diseases, and to develop new methods for extending the timescales accessible to molecular simulation. Connecting with experiment is a high priority, so much so that we’ll be conducting our own biophysical experiments to test predictions. There is certainly no requirement that everyone do experiments though. We’re located at the medical school at Washington University in St Louis. For those who think this if fly-over territory, I highly recommend you take another look. Forest Park offers amazing science, art, and history museums as well as a zoo and concerts (all of which are free!). We also have an outstanding food scene and the cost of living is a welcome change from other metropolitan areas. Interested candidates should contact me via email at bowman(a)biochem.wustl.edu<mailto:bowman@biochem.wustl.edu> and include their CV and a brief (one page or less) description of a project they might like to pursue in my lab.
