    Opportunity: Research Associate/Analyst, BIOINFORMATICS / COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY @ Baylor--Houston, TX (US)
    Submitted by Wei Li; posted on Monday, October 26, 2009
    BACKGROUND:
    The laboratory of Prof. Wei Li (http://lilab.openwetware.org/) at Baylor College of Medicine has a proven track record in bioinformatics algorithms development as demonstrated by a dozen bioinformatics publications over the past several years. In addition to methodology development, we are involved in large consortium projects such as NIH Roadmap Epigenomics Program and The Cancer Genome Atlas Program. We also have close collaborations with several labs on identifying global regulation targets of transcription factors, including Estrogen Receptor (Cell 2005, Nature Genetics 2006), Androgen Receptor (Molecular Cell 2007, Cell 2009) and FoxA1 (Cell 2008).

    RESPONSIBILITIES:
    One NIH-funded Research Associate/Analyst position is available immediately in the Dan L. Duncan Cancer Center at Baylor College of Medicine, one of the top medical schools in the United States. The successful candidate will be expected to carry out statistical analysis and integrate various epigenome and transcriptome next-generation sequencing data for a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying human diseases. This position also offers many opportunities for collaboration in biologically challenging areas, including but not limited to stem cells, development, cancer and aging.

    REQUIREMENTS:
    The ideal candidate should have:
    - A Master degree (a PhD degree is preferred) in a related field (Bioinformatics, Biology, Statistics, Physics or Computer Science)
    - Strong skills in at least one programming language (python, perl, R or C/C++) and/or large-scale data analysis skills

    PREFERENCES:
    - Some training in molecular biology is preferred.
    - Substantial experience directly relevant to Bioinformatics in medical research is a plus.

    SALARY & BENEFITS:
    Salary is highly competitive and dependent upon previous experience.

    HOW TO APPLY:
    Applicants should submit a CV, pdf files of your best papers and the name/contact information of three references to Prof. Wei Li (WL1@bcm.edu) with email subject "Research Associate Application".
