Job Description:
A postdoctoral position is available in the research group of Dr. Ivan Ovcharenko at the National Center for Biotechnology Information, National Institutes of Health (NIH). Our current research projects include computational studies of epigenetic and sequence-based mechanisms of gene regulation and we are developing probabilistic and comparative genomics approaches to decipher the regulatory landscape of the human genome. By combining the next generation sequencing data with a large body of experimental enhancer characterization, our computational approaches target transcriptional mechanisms of tissue-specific regulatory signals and cell-type differences in gene regulation taking place within a developing organ/tissue.
Candidates with a PhD in computational biology/bioinformatics or a related discipline and no more than 5 years of prior postdoctoral training will be considered. Excellent programming and genome data analysis skills are necessary. Hands-on knowledge of statistical tools, genome databases, and comparative genomics approaches is desirable.
Please take a look at some of our publications to get a better understanding of the projects we are working on:
L. Taher et al., Sequence signatures extracted from proximal promoters can be used to predict distal enhancers, Genome Biology, 14(10):R117 (2013) [ http://genomebiology.com/content/14/10/R117 ]
R.P. Smith et al., Massively parallel decoding of mammalian regulatory sequences supports a flexible organizational model, Nat Genet., 45(9):1021-8 (2013) [ http://www.nature.com/ng/journal/v45/n9/full/ng.2713.html ]
L. Taher et al., Genome-wide identification of conserved regulatory function in diverged sequences, Genome Research, 21(7):1139-49 (2011) [ http://genome.cshlp.org/content/21/7/1139.long ]
This position is supported by the Intramural NIH Research Program and includes stable funding, excellent benefits and compensation. NIH is an Equal Opportunity Employer and encourages applications from women and minorities.
