Job Description:
We are looking to appoint a computational post-doctoral fellow who is interested in applying their skills to transcriptomics and genomics. Prior experience of working with next-generation sequencing data is not necessary. We are looking for someone with strong mathematical and/or programming skills who is willing to learn about problems in molecular biology.
Additional Info:
Fixed term for 3 years The Hemberg group is primarily interested in developing quantitative methods and models for analysing gene expression and gene regulation. We are particularly interested in working with data generated from high-throughput technologies, making sure that the software used to analyse this data is computationally and statistically rigorous.
