Position Summary:
The Center for Omics technologies and Data Engineering (CODE) at Florida Atlantic University invites applications for postdoctoral scholar positions to work on collaborative, interdisciplinary projects involving CODE faculty and external partners from national laboratories and industry.
We seek candidates with strong expertise in computational methods, particularly those with backgrounds in machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI), statistics, bioinformatics, or analysis-acceleration technologies. Candidates should also have prior experience working with high-volume omics data to address biological or biomedical problems, or demonstrate a clear interest in contributing to future projects that involve such data and directions. Postdoctoral scholars will work under the supervision of CODE Director Michael DeGiorgio and will collaborate closely with researchers across the College of Engineering and Computer Science, the College of Medicine, and external collaborators.
Research areas include (but are not limited to):
- Population, cancer, and clinical genomics
- Multi-omics integration and AI-driven analytics
- Quantum or hardware acceleration for omics technologies
- Systems, molecular, or metabolic engineering
- Translational and precision medicine
Projects will be tailored to each scholar’s background, interests, and career goals, and will involve collaboration with at least two CODE members or partners.

What We Do
Florida Atlantic University, founded in 1961, is currently serving more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students at sites throughout its six-county service region in southeast Florida. The University's student body, which ranks as the most ethnically and culturally diverse in Florida's State University System, includes many men and women of non-traditional age.
Long known as an outstanding teaching institution, FAU is undergoing rapid development as a center of cutting-edge research, particularly in the biomedical arena. This process has been accelerated by the University's partnerships with four internationally known biomedical research organizations, the Scripps Research Institute, the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute, the Torrey Pines Institute for Molecular Studies and the Max Planck Society. Additionally, FAU's Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine recently welcomed its inaugural class.
