    BACKGROUND

    The Jackson Laboratory currently hosts 38 faculty, is an NCI designated Cancer Center, and is an NIGMS Systems Biology Center of Excellence. The lab is consistently ranked as one of the best places for post-docs, including our current ranking of #2 by The Scientist magazine.

    RESPONSIBILITIES

    The Hibbs Lab at The Jackson Laboratory is currently accepting applications for postdoctoral research assistants. Postdoctoral assistants will have the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects ongoing in our lab. We are currently developing data mining, machine learning, and visualization approaches that utilize high-throughput, whole genome scale data to create high quality predictions of protein roles, pathways, and regulation. Through collaborative projects, we strive to evaluate and refine our predictions using experimental efforts.

    REQUIREMENTS

    • PhD (or other terminal degree) in either a quantitative field (e.g. computer science, statistics, applied math) or in the biological sciences with a quantitative/computational background
    • Demonstrated commitment to solving biological problems, however, a background in biology is not strictly required.
    • Good communication and scientific programming skills
    • Our work is highly interdisciplinary, and applicants must demonstrate a desire to build and maintain strong collaborations.

    PREFERENCES

    • Experience with Java, C/C++, Ruby, Perl, and/or R is recommended.
    • Prior experience in the analysis or visualization of large data sets is desirable.
