BACKGROUND

We are seeking an enthusiastic candidate who is interested in developing computational algorithms to model regulatory mechanisms of gene expression in both healthy and disease development. The Tan lab (http://www.healthcare.uiowa.edu/labs/tan/) has pioneered multiple computational algorithms for regulatory genomics, epigenomics, and network biology.

The University of Iowa has a large and dynamic community of bioinformatics and informatics researchers and students. The Carver College of Medicine of University of Iowa ranks 11th among public medical schools by U.S. News and World Reports. The Department of Internal Medicine house internationally and nationally recognized centers across the biomedicine disciplines.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Working in a highly interdisciplinary team, the candidate will have the opportunity to work on several projects funded by the National Institutes of Health. The candidate will have ample opportunities to collaborate with our institutional and external collaborators.

REQUIREMENTS

The applicants should have a BS or MS degree in computational biology or a related discipline (computer science, statistics, biology, physics, and mathematics). Strong computer programming (C/C++, perl/python, Matlab, R) and analytical skills are essential. An established track record (as evidenced by publications in peer-viewed journals) in biological sequence and network analyses is a significant plus.
