BACKGROUND

The Lau and Marr labs at Brandeis University are recruiting a joint position in Computational Biology of RNA-centric gene regulation. The Lau lab studies gene regulation mechanisms by small RNAs and RNAi in animals. The Marr lab studies transcription and translation mechanisms linked to Insulin signaling and aging processes. The Biology Department is a top-tier, vibrant academic research environment with extensive facilities and seminar activities as well as opportunities in undergraduate teaching.

RESPONSIBILITIES

The position entails interfacing with molecular biologists in analyzing large datasets from small RNA, RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, and polysome profiling libraries as well as other cutting edge techniques employing Illumina deep-sequencing technology. This position also offers ample opportunity for a computationalist to gain practical wet-lab experience in the expanding realms of molecular biology.

REQUIREMENTS

Candidates should have an MS or PhD degree in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
We are looking for a candidate with an MS or PhD and prior bioinformatics experience, particularly in analysis of deep-sequencing and gene expression data.
Programming skills and experience with high-throughput genomic data are highly desirable.
Excellent communications skills and the ability to work on a variety of projects are essential.

LOCALE

Brandies University is located in Waltham, a suburb of Boston, MA. Brandeis University is in close proximity to other major research universities and medical schools as well as pharmaceutical and biotech hubs concentrated in the Boston area.

TERMS

Full-time, January 2013

COMPENSATION

Successful candidates will be offered competitive stipend/salary commensurate with number of years of postdoctoral experience and accomplishments. Benefits package will include health insurance.

HOW TO APPLY

Candidates should send an email to nlau[at]brandeis.edu with a CV detailing relevant computational biology experience, list of publications, and three references.
