    RESPONSIBILITIES

    Dr. Yuan Ji's lab at NorthShore University HealthSystem and University of Chicago is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow to conduct bioinformatics and computational biology research as part of a new Program for Computational Genomics and Medicine. The postdoctoral fellow is expected to work on exciting research projects related to cancer genomic regulations and tumor heterogeneity. The main responsibilities include developing computational methods, carrying out analyses (some on supercomputer), writing manuscripts, and managing genomic data. See http://www.compgenome.org for more information about research in Ji's lab.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • PhD degree in bioinformatics, computational biology, genetics, molecular biology, statistics, electrical engineering, computer science or other related fields. This position requires strong background and experience in both computational science and biology. For applicants with statistical background, Bayesian modeling is required.
    • Track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals
    • Hands-on experience with the analyses of omics data, such as DNA and RNA sequencing data, microarray data, or proteomics data
    • Proficiency in programming with one or multiple of R, Matlab, Perl, shell script, C/C++, and Python
    • Familiar with popular bioinformatics and statistics analyses, such as differential gene selection, gene set enrichment analysis, ANOVA, and survival analysis

    PREFERENCES

    • Experiences of cancer research, molecular interaction network study, biomarker detection, or drug target identification
    • Capable of fluently communicating with bench scientists about biological questions and transforming them into computational tasks
    • Experience of using bioinformatics tools, including (1) Next Generation Sequencing pipeline tools, (2) MEME Suite for motif analysis, and (3) Bioconductor packages such as limma, edgeR, and others
    • Experience of using bioinformatics resources, such as TCGA, ENCODE, UCSC Genome Browser, KEGG, TRANSFAC, miRBase, Gene Ontology, and GEO
    • Experience on high performance computing, database management and web construction
