Opportunity: Postdoctoral Fellow in Bioinformatics and Genomics @ University of North Carolina at Charlotte -- Charlotte, NC (US)
Submitted by Lauren Slane; posted on Wednesday, November 02, 2022
BACKGROUND
The Postdoctoral Fellow ("postdoc") will report to Dr. Denis Jacob Machado (Assistant Professor in Bioinformatics; https://cipher.charlotte.edu/directory/denis-jacob-machado-phd) and will be a senior member of the Phyloinformatics Lab (https://phyloinformatics.com), supporting projects through original research, collaboration with other team members, and co-mentoring students. The employee's principal research responsibilities will be training and research
The Phyloinformatics Lab's research can be divided into four components:
1) We are facilitating resource-efficient molecular analyses and making data from museum biorepositories more readily available to biomedical research.
2) We are improving genomic resources of non-model organisms with a focus on animals of particular medical or environmental interest.
3) We are developing phylogenetics solutions, especially if they can help improve our understanding of zoonosis.
4) We are integrating "omics" technologies (e.g., genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics) to study complex host-pathogen systems in the context of One Health.
The successful applicant will conduct research that aligns with at least one of the abovementioned components. Additional comparative genomics and phylogenetics projects are encouraged, especially when public data or collaborations are available.
RESPONSIBILITIES
All of the following conditions characterize postdoc appointments:
1) The appointee was recently (within the last eight years) awarded a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate (e.g., Sc.D., M.D.);
2) The appointment is temporary (12 months, but renewable for up to five years);
3) The appointment involves substantially full-time research or scholarship;
4) The appointment is viewed as preparatory for a full-time academic or research career;
5) The appointee works under the supervision of a faculty member; and
6) The appointee has the freedom and is expected to publish the results of their research or scholarship during the period of appointment.
REQUIREMENTS
The candidate must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate. That degree can be in something other than bioinformatics or computational biology. Publications, talks, and posters in the fields of biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, or evolution are desired but not mandatory.
The candidate must have basic computational skills, including Bash, Unix, Python, and R training. Moreover, the candidate must have a background in phylogenetics, molecular biology, evolution, and statistics. Furthermore, the candidate must show at least an introductory understanding of genomics, transcriptomics, and microscopy. Finally, training in virology, epidemiology, or zoology is not required but is highly desirable. Preference will be given to candidates who better fit the preferred skills list.
The ideal candidate may have only some of the listed desirable skills (above). In that case, that candidate must show interest and capacity to learn the additional skills. Publications, talks, and posters in biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, molecular biology, or evolution are desired but not mandatory.
TERMS
The candidate must have earned a Ph.D. or equivalent doctorate degree (e.g., Sc.D., M.D.) in the past eight years.
As an EOE/AA employer and an ADVANCE Institution that strives to create an academic climate in which the dignity of all individuals is respected and maintained, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte encourages applications from all underrepresented groups.
The candidate chosen for this position will be subject to a criminal background check and must provide an official transcript of their highest earned degree.
This is a temporary position with an initial contract for 12 months. Subsequent years (up to five years total) will depend on available funding. The expected workload is 40 hours per week, 8 hours per day, from Monday to Friday.
COMPENSATION
The minimum salary is $ 50,000.00 (USD) per year (pay rates vary).
LOCATION
Institution: University of North Carolina at Charlotte (UNC Charlotte), College of Computing and Informatics (CCI), Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics (BiG), CIPHER center (https://cipher.charlotte.edu). Address: 9331 Robert D. Snyder Rd, Charlotte, NC 28223, U.S.A.
