The Bosch Lab at the University of Utah (https://www.boschlab.com/) invites applications for a computational research technician position to support projects related to biomolecular interaction prediction using AI tools.
The Bosch Lab studies projects related to organ-organ communication. Our aim is to discover and study proteins in blood circulation - to understand which cells release them, where they go, what they do. We develop software tools to identify novel hormones and receptors by running AI models (e.g. AlphaFold) on large-scale at high performance data centers. The software tools we have developed are of broad use to the scientific community, and we are looking for a research technician to maintain and expand these tools.
