Job Description:
Helps design and conduct research within a specified field while receiving advanced training from a designated Principal Investigator to enhance professional skills and research independence needed for pursuit of a career. The specific area of research in which the trainee is mentored is determined by the department and laboratory of the Postdoc. Designs and evaluates experiments. Develops new ideas that promote current research. Prepares and publishes scientific manuscripts under the direction of the Principal Investigator. May be responsible for operation of specific equipment. May teach techniques to others, train, and supervise research staff. Positions are temporary appointments as a research trainee. The initial appointment is for one year, renewal expected if progress is satisfactory and funds are available. Appointments cannot exceed five years.
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS: A doctoral degree or equivalent (Ph.D., M.D., ScD., D.V.M., DDS etc) in an appropriate field. Excellent scientific writing ability and strong oral communication skills. The ability to work effectively and collegially with colleagues. Additional qualifications as specified by the Principal Investigator.
DATE CREATED/MODIFIED/REVIEWED: 4/27/10 JB
Preferred Qualifications
Our laboratory is engaged in multi-disciplinary and multi-collaborative projects that seek to unravel the molecular mechanisms driving the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
This is an excellent opportunity to be involved in cutting edge multi-omics research in the field of IBD. The candidate is expected to interact with a multi-disciplinary team comprising of medical practitioners, computational biologists, geneticists and statisticians.
In this position, the candidate is expected to perform bioinformatic analysis of multi-omics data (genomic, transcriptiomic, proteomic etc..) generated by next gen sequencing and multi-platform genotyping. Responsibilities would include building computational models for biomarker discovery, disease risk and clinical outcome prediction; designing statistical algorithms and implementing data analysis tools; evaluate research projects to identify new hypotheses.
Basic qualification:
• Ph.D. in computational biology or bioinformatics is preferred. However, those with Ph.D. in human genetics, population genetics, functional genomics, molecular biology or related field with experience in computational biology or bioinformatics will be considered
• Demonstrated research experience and ability to handle and analyze large-scale genomic datasets, including large-scale analysis of next generation sequencing data, as well as array based genotype data (GWAS, gene expression arrays, etc)
• Proficiency in scripting languages (perl and/or python) and familiarity with statistical software and statistical language (e.g. R) relevant to human genetics.
• Highly motivated, committed to biomedical research, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
To apply, please send a cover letter or short statement of interest, CV and contact information for three references to Dr. Subra Kugathasan (skugath@emory.edu)
