Engineers Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 12:58:08 -0400 From: Unaiz Kabani To: jbuhler at wustl.edu Professor Buhler, My name is Unaiz Kabani and I graduated from the Washington University in 2009. As part of my mathematics major, I took multiple computer science courses - these classes were part of what compelled me to join an internet startup after spending a couple years in management consulting with Deloitte. I now work for Yipit , a recently venture-backed, New York City-based startup that aggregates daily deals from Groupon, LivingSocial, and their 400+ other competitors. We also leverage the data we collect on the industry to provide thought leadership on the space: we've been cited in every major publication from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, to TechCrunch. We currently have a team of 15 and are extremely interested in scaling the company with talent from Wash. U. - one of my colleagues is also an alumnus. It would be absolutely fantastic if you can forward this email to graduating seniors or juniors (we offer internships) who could be interested. We're looking for all types of engineering talent - there's plenty more detail on our job's page . Students can email me directly at unaiz+jobs at yipit.com . If there is anyone you'd particularly like to recommend, please let me know. Thank you in advance and happy to chat if you have any questions.

My group and researchers at Microsoft have independently developed similar approaches to integrating diverse types of "omic" data using network models. We are looking for an extremely talented computational biologist to work with us on improved methods. The relevant publications are below: Yeger-Lotem, et al. Nature Genetics (2009) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19234470 Huang and Fraenkel, Science Signaling (2009) http://stke.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/sigtrans;2/81/ra40?ijkey=sfqfB52Ckvy9Y&keytype=ref&siteid=sigtrans Bailly-Bechet et al. PNAS (2011) http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21187432 The postdoctoral fellow will benefit from the *extremely* generous compensation paid to Microsoft researchers, while being fully integrated into my lab at MIT. Below is the text of an ad that we have posted. If you know of a student who might might be appropriate, please encourage her/him to apply. Thanks, Ernest -------------------------------------------------------------------- Postdoctoral position at Microsoft Research New England in Cambridge, MA, to work on a joint project with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Torino, Italy.
