ISCB Job Board
Bioinformatics Postdoctoral FellowUniversity of Texas Health Science CenterBiomedical InformaticsUSA-Texas-Houston Several postdoctoral positions are available in Dr. Zhongming Zhao's Bioinformatics and Systems Medicine Laboratory (BSML, http://bioinfo.mc.vanderbilt.edu/), now moved to School of Biomedical Informatics, University of Texas Health Science at Houston (UTHealth) from Vanderbilt University Medical Center. The successful candidate is expected to join an established bioinformatics team. The ongoing projects in BSML focus on precision medicine, functional roles of genetic variants in complex disease, next-generation sequencing data analyses, and regulatory networks. Integrative genomics and systems biology approaches are often applied. Funding is available to support this position for up to three years and future promotion is possible. The candidate will have the opportunity to access many high throughput datasets and interact with investigators across UTHealth and Texas Medical Center. The lab has an excellent post-doctoral training track record (e.g. 12 former postdocs are currently faculty members, two received Young Investigator Awards from national foundations, and three were finalists for the Vanderbilt Postdoc of the Year Award).
