标 题: Research Associate/Postdoctoral Positions Available at UCLA
关键字: Postdoctoral,Research Associate,data mining,risk analysis,nanomaterial
发信站: BBS 未名空间站 (Tue Apr 16 16:56:33 2013, 美东)
Associate/Postdoctoral positions are available at the UCLA/National Science
Foundation (NSF) Center for the Environmental Implications of Nanomaterials
(CEIN) in the Environmental Decision Analysis (EDA) team focusing on the
development of approaches and models to assess the potential environmental
impact of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs). In accomplishing the above, the
EDA team integrates knowledge derived from high volume data generated from
studies of ENMs toxicity, fate and transport and life-cycle analysis. The
premise of the approach is that environmental impacts are governed by
toxicity of and exposure to ENMs. The ultimate goal is to build an analysis
platform for decision making regarding the safe design and use of ENMs.
The CEIN is a multidisciplinary center involving academic groups from
Engineering, Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Public Health and Policy with
partners abroad and from a number of the National Laboratories. The research
work of the EDA team is physically located at both the California
NanoSystems Institute (CNSI) as well as at the Henry Samueli School of
Engineering and Applied Science, both at UCLA.
The Research Associate/Postdoctoral fellows will work with the CEIN EDA team
to develop advanced modeling platforms (implemented for cloud-based
computing) for environmental impact assessment (EIA) of ENMs, as well as
associated case studies. These efforts will involve: (a) the use of data
mining/machine learning and various statistical methods for the analysis of
voluminous ENM toxicity data, including the development of (Quantitative)-
Structure-Activity-Relationships (QSARs) and various aggregation methods for
hazard ranking/scoring from multi-parameter toxicity metrics, (b)
development of ENM emission estimates, (c) multimedia fate and transport
modeling for assessment of potential exposure scenarios; (d) EIA framework
development, and (e) integration of the above information/models into an
environmental decision analysis system.
The available research positions provide unique opportunities to be involved
and contribute to a globally visible program that is forging a new research
direction and paradigm shift geared to demonstrate the benefits of the
linkages between engineering, mathematics, computer/computational science,
biology, and environmental science. The positions will involve interactions
with students, faculty, industrial affiliates of the program and
international partners.

The qualifications for the positions are described below:
Education: Ph.D. in Chemical, Civil, Environmental or Mechanical Engineering
, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or a field related to the areas of
experience described below.
Experience: Development and working familiarity with exposure assessment,
basic risk analysis, toxicity/dose-response modeling, life-cycle analysis,
transport phenomena, and modeling of environmental fate and transport.
Experience with basic toxicology, colloidal science and environmental
chemistry would also be an asset. Experience with computer-based modeling is
essential. Familiarity with scientific programming languages (MATLAB, R, C
and FORTRAN), database use and linking (for modeling purposes) and basic
user-interface design experience is desirable. Also, experience with bio-
statistics, bioinformatics, decision-making models, data mining/machine
learning, and artificial intelligence would be beneficial.
The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) is an exceptional
research institution in an attractive and comfortable campus located in West
Los Angeles. The appointment is for a period of 1-2 years, with the
possibility for extension. The salary is competitive and includes a medical
insurance program.
Please send resume and contact information for three references to:
