    BACKGROUND

    The Laboratory of Dr. Housheng Hansen He at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and the University of Toronto is focused on elucidating the functional role of epigenetic regulation in cancer development and progression, with a special focus on interplay between epigenetic regulators and noncoding RNAs. The lab is utilizing and developing cutting edge experimental and computational methods based on next-generation sequencing. Visit the lab website for more details. http://helab.uhnresearch.ca

    We are currently seeking 1 computational and 2 experimental postdoctoral fellows to take lead of research projects in the field of cancer genomics and epigenomics, including noncoding RNA functional screening, RNA editing and epigenetic therapy. Candidates with strong background in genomics, epigenetics, molecular/cancer biology and bioinformatics are encouraged to apply.

    REQUIREMENTS

    Qualifications for Computational Postdoctoral Fellow:
    • Recent Ph.D in bioinformatics and related areas
    • Strong programming skills (Python|Perl|C|C++|Java|R)
