What is computational modeling?

A Computational Modeling job involves developing and using mathematical models, simulations, and algorithms to analyze complex systems across various fields, such as engineering, physics, biology, and finance. Professionals in this role apply computational techniques to study real-world phenomena, predict outcomes, and optimize processes. They often work with programming languages, statistical methods, and high-performance computing to create accurate and efficient models.

What does a computational modeler do?

A typical day for a computational modeling professional often involves developing and refining mathematical or computer-based models, running simulations, and analyzing large datasets to draw meaningful conclusions. You’ll collaborate closely with domain experts, engineers, and researchers to ensure models accurately reflect real-world processes. The role may also involve presenting findings to stakeholders, troubleshooting code or software issues, and keeping up with new modeling techniques and industry advancements. This dynamic environment requires balancing independent problem-solving with teamwork and communication.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in computational modeling?

To thrive in computational modeling, a strong background in mathematics, computer science, and domain-specific knowledge (such as engineering, physics, or biology) is essential, often supported by at least a bachelor's or master's degree in a related field. Familiarity with programming languages like Python, MATLAB, or R, as well as experience with simulation software and data analysis tools, is typically required. Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills set outstanding candidates apart. These abilities enable professionals to build accurate models, collaborate successfully with interdisciplinary teams, and translate complex results into actionable insights.

Job description

Please refer to theHow to Apply for a Job (for External Candidates)job aid for instructions on how to apply.

If you are an active McGill employee (ie: currently in an active contract or position at McGill University), do not apply through this Career Site. Login to your McGill Workday account and apply to this posting using the Find Jobs report (type Find Jobs in the search bar).

Position Summary:
The candidate will work independently on basic research projects in the laboratory of Dr. Ruthazer at the MNI. His/her work will develop a multilevel understanding of the behavioral responses of larval zebrafish to environmental stimuli, from decision-making to motor coordination. He/she will develop analyses and computational models to explain existing datasets and extract the algorithms underlying responses to visual and water flow stimuli. He/she will work with collaborative teams on the multidisciplinary aspects of the research projects, and contribute to the scientific environment of the lab. The candidate will analyze the data, write drafts of manuscripts, and contribute to the writing of grants. The candidate will also participate in the supervision of undergraduate, graduate and summer trainees, if required.


Qualifications:

Applicants should have a PhD in Neurobiology or related field, ideally with animal behavior and computational components, relevant postdoctoral and/or minimum of 5 years experience, and a record of publications in internationally recognized journals. Previous experience in zebrafish neurobiology, data analysis, behavioral tracking algorithms, and modern pose-estimation techniques is essential, and experience building and testing models of decision-making is desirable. Experience with grant-writing and fellowship applications is an asset.
