Job Description:
We are looking for innovative students who are interested in pursuing a PhD in the Epigenomics Laboratory at the University of British Columbia. Our research applies cutting edge experimental and computational methodologies to develop and test hypothesis of functional genomic mechanisms driving rare and common forms of cancer. Students can choose from either a combined experimental and computational program or an exclusively computational track.

Responsibilities:

The successful candidate will be embedded within a team of experimental and computational biologists and have access to a state-of-the-science epigenomic mapping pipeline and epigenomic datasets from primary cancer types and models. The applicant will be expected to work independently and collaboratively with clinical and other domain experts with an ultimate goal of improving outcomes for cancer patients.

Qualifications:

Exceptional students with demonstrated communication skills and undergraduate research experience. Students seeking an exclusively computational PhD must have unix shell scripting and statistical training.
