DESCRIPTION
Epigenetics, Gene Regulation and 3D Genome Architecture
The La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology (LIAI), an independent, non-profit research institute, is seeking talented and highly motivated postdoctoral fellows specializing in bioinformatics and computational biology to join Ferhat Ay's Lab (http://www.liai.org/pages/ay-home) in San Diego, CA. Start date: January 15, 2016 or later.
Successful candidates will conduct research in a dynamic and a highly collaborative environment. The research will involve development of novel computational methods for analysis and integration of large-scale, heterogeneous data sets in order to link epigenetic mechanisms, such as the three-dimensional organization of chromatin, to gene regulation. The developed methods will also be applied to first-hand data produced in collaboration with top-notch research groups at the institute, in San Diego area or elsewhere.
REQUIREMENTS
- Ph.D. with a strong background in Computer Science, Statistics, Machine Learning or Bioinformatics
- Excellent programming skills in at least one programming language (preferably Python)
- Proven record of scientific publications in bioinformatics and/or genomics journals
- Ability to develop novel computational methods, algorithms and data processing pipelines
- Excellent communication and presentation skills
- Willingness to work closely with experimental biologists
