Job Description:
A senior bioinformatician position is available immediately to work with Dr. Stephen M. Mount and collaborators (Drs. Heidi Fisher, Kan Cao and Zhongchi Liu) at the University of Maryland in College Park.
Research in the Mount laboratory is focused on describing how RNA processing produces accurate, variant and defective RNA isoforms from protein-coding genes. In practice, this means mining high throughput RNA-seq data for biological insights using computational tools.
Additional Info:
The candidate is expected to work closely with Dr. Mount to implement pipelines for the discovery of biological insights in diverse RNA-seq data sets. This will primarily mean a study of RNA-seq data from HIV-infected cells with the goal of better understanding HIV splicing. Additional collaborative projects may include premature aging, behavior-dependent mouse brains and testes, cancer, fruit development and fern male gametophyte maturation.
The successful candidate will receive training and direction on key projects. The successful candidate will be expected and encouraged to co-author publications and to present their work at national and international meetings. Their professional development will be supported[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
