Why not. Obviously possible. Better to publish some papers so that they can know your knowledge more. I don't think the coursera course is enough for this. Actually coursera course doesn’t give anyone guarantee about the knowledge that he or she gained.

Yes, it is definitely possible to pursue a postdoctoral position in computational biology after completing a Ph.D. in biology. In fact, having a background in biology can be advantageous when transitioning into computational biology as it provides a strong foundation in the biological principles and concepts that are essential for computational analyses.

To pursue a postdoctoral position in computational biology, you may need to acquire additional computational skills and knowledge. This can be done through various means, such as taking relevant courses, attending workshops or summer schools, collaborating with computational biologists, or conducting research projects that involve computational analyses during your Ph.D. studies.

When applying for a postdoctoral position, it is important to highlight your biology background and showcase your interest and experience in computational biology. You can emphasize any computational work you have done during your Ph.D., such as data analysis, programming, or developing computational models. Additionally, demonstrating your ability to collaborate with computational biologists or your interest in interdisciplinary research can be beneficial.

Postdoctoral positions in computational biology can be found in academic research institutions, government research labs, and industry. It is advisable to explore the research interests of potential postdoctoral advisors or research groups and align your research goals and expertise with their ongoing projects.

Overall, with a Ph.D. in biology and a strong interest in computational biology, you have a solid foundation to pursue a postdoctoral position in this exciting and rapidly evolving field. It offers a great opportunity to further develop your computational skills, expand your scientific expertise, and contribute to cutting-edge research in biology.

After earning your Ph.D. in biology, you may seek a postdoctoral job in computational biology if you meet the prerequisites for the position. Computational biologists come from a wide range of disciplines, including biology, genetics, biochemistry, and other relevant topics.

Why you can't because some of it is related to the biological field , but you should have background experience with computing such as analysis, modeling and creation of algorithms for biological systems. Because computational biology is about creating algorithms, methods and models to study biological systems. Systems biology focuses on complex modelling of biological systems.

Yes you can do.

Yes, you can if you have the necessary skills and ability to use some computational softwares and it’s applications.

Hola Elly Nieve, disculpa la demora, por su puesto que puedes hacer un posdoctorado en Biología computacional, cuentas con los conocimientos que te permitirían desarrollarte en el área.

I believe that this is possible. You have the qualifications that allow this. Therefore, I hope that you will continue your efforts in the field of research and science with success

It is possible provided you have to put all your time and efforts in learning from the very basic and then implementing the computational approaches. You can't take it as your side project and thinking that two hours a day is enough to learn computational techniques. At least it takes two years to be capable enough to design your computational approach.

So in short the answer is, yes you can learn but you have to sit and give your time in practicing and reading a lot!

Sure you can. But you must be ready to invest a lot of intense learning time at the beginning

Unfortunately, it is not within my major. I am a PhD student in archeology, and this major is somewhat distant, but it can be one of the sciences that strongly assist archeology. I hope the answer is adequate

Yes, you can but you should have skill and experience in computational software.

Yes you can. I am an MD and done a PhD in systems biology then a postdoc in computational chemistry, then went back to sysbiol.

Absolutely you can.
