Job Description:
The Bakel lab is looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work on a project aimed at understanding influenza virus:host interactions, the basis of viral transcription, and the interplay between cellular and viral transcription at genomic scale. The project involves a broad array of well-established techniques such as RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq, but also cutting-edge single-cell sequencing technologies and other specialized approaches to study gene regulation and epigenetics at the cellular level. The candidate will work within an integrated, multidisciplinary team of experimental and computational scientists at the Institute for Genomics and Multiscale Biology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, or virology, with a background in transcriptome analyses and excellent quantitative skills. The successful applicant will have strong training in genomic analysis and data mining and the ability to work in a collaborative team setting. Specific qualifications include experience in one or more of the following areas:
Additional Info:
Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major human respiratory pathogen that causes seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics. IAV critically depends on host factors for multiple functions that are not encoded by the viral genome to transcribe and translate viral proteins. Research our lab is focused on applying novel genomics technologies to fundamental problems in infectious disease to understand host:pathogen interactions and the molecular basis of evolution and transmission of bacteria and viruses, which we hope will provide insights into new treatment options and approaches to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Projects in the lab are widely funded through NIH grants and contracts. Our lab website and publication record can be found here: https://bakellab.mssm.edu/publications.html. The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer. We recognize the power and importance of a diverse employee population and strongly encourage applicants with various experiences and backgrounds. To apply, please e-mail a CV, a brief description of research experience and interests, and contact information for 1-3 references to: Harm van Bakel, PhD…[Click Here to Access the Original Job Post]
