Job Description:
We are recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to work on understanding the functional consequences of combinations of mutations that contribute to tumorigenesis. Highly self-driven, ambitious candidates with a knack for solving challenging problems in cancer biology and outstanding publication track record are encouraged to apply. The candidate is expected to work as a part of multi-disciplinary, dynamic and vibrant team, and will have the opportunity to work and develop his/her research program with the best in the field. Required Experience: You hold a PhD degree or equivalent in bioinformatics, statistics, computational biology, or related discipline of biomedical research. Experience in computational and statistical genetics, genomics and knowledge of R and PERL and their application in cancer research is mandatory. Programming experience is required as is having worked with big data. It is desired that you are familiar with standard molecular biology, tissue culture practices and mouse genetics protocol. The successful candidate will have strong qualifications or experience within several of the following areas:
Additional Info:
Our group is interested in the functional genetics of cancer. We use state of the art technology in genomics, proteomics and epigenetics to understand the molecular mechanisms that drive cancer progression, metastasis and chemoresistance.
