Job Description:
We are looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic and motivated researcher to train in a highly dynamic environment with exposure to world-renowned investigators in the field of human genetics, computational genomics, developmental biology, and stem cells research. The candidate will work on human genetics of pediatric kidney disease of broad medical relevance, by using novel state-of-the-art genomic tools to identify rare variants with large effect on the phenotype and integrate genomic approaches with single cell analyses as well as stem cell biology and developmental genetics. The candidate will have his or her own project and will have the opportunity to collaborate with other investigators in the lab working on large-scale genomic data and on functional modeling in vertebrates.
Additional Info:
The desired qualifications for the position are: 1) a M.D. or Ph.D. degree (preferably in Genomics, Molecular Genetics, Statistics, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Physics, or a related field), and significant experience with large-scale genomic studies; 2) solid skills in at least one programming language (python, perl, R or C/C++); 3) practical experience in large-scale bioinformatics data analysis with familiarity with both microarray and next-generation sequencing data; 4) experience with human-derived pluripotent stem cells; 5) excellent oral and written communication skills; 6) high enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and a willingness to push the envelope.[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
