Opportunity: Postdoctoral Researcher @ Weill Cornell--New York, NY (US)
Submitted by Doron Betel; posted on Wednesday, January 25, 2012
BACKGROUND
A postdoctoral position in computational biology is available in the Betel lab at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York City. Our group is engaged in a number of collaborative projects with clinicians and experimentalists from several institutes. This work is related to areas of cancer genomics, neurobiology and stem cells. Specific projects include studying the role of microRNAs during development, in cancer, and in stem cells; investigating the molecular biology of memory process; and understanding human microbiome and its implication on cancer.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Postdocs in the group will have the opportunity to take a leadership role in one or more of these projects, initiate new projects and foster new collaborations. The position entails development and application of novel computational tools for the analysis and interpretation of high-throughput genomic data often from novel assays. The work is based on techniques that include statistical learning, data integration, and visualization guided by specific biological questions.
REQUIREMENTS
An ideal candidate should have Ph.D (or equivalent) training in statistics, machine learning, algorithmic development and computational biology as well as a detailed understanding of molecular biology and genetics. Prior experience in processing and managing high-throughput sequencing data is desired.
HOW TO APPLY
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Please submit a CV, a brief research statement, bibliography (or preprints), and names of at least three references to Doron Betel (dob2014[at]med.cornell.edu).
