- An NIH-funded cancer genomics post-doctoral research position
focusing on integrative analysis of next generation sequencing (NGS)
data is available within the Maher lab (www.maherlab.com). To fully
translate genome-based discoveries into the clinic our group is
associated with the Department of Medicine and The Genome Institute
(TGI) at Washington University. The successful applicant will focus on
applying and developing computational and statistical tools to analyze
whole genome and transcriptome sequencing data from cancer patients.
Applicants should have a graduate degree in biology, bioinformatics,
computational biology, or related field with a solid background in
programming and statistics. Candidates should be comfortable working on
UNIX/Linux operating system, program with Perl and/or Python, and
familiar with statistical analysis packages (SAS, R, or Bioconductor).
Also expected to be familiar with bioinformatics tools and genomics
databases. Previous experience in cancer genomics would be an advantage
but is not essential.
The successful candidate will be
self-motivated, eager to acquire new knowledge and skills on a regular
basis, and must demonstrate critical thinking skills. The ability to
analyze and interpret results to communicate with others and produce
scientific publications is required.
Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
