Job Description:
We work with several interdisciplinary teams of experimental and computational biologists for large-scale characterization of human gene regulatory programs and their association with human diseases. These projects include a collaborative work with University of Toronto and ENCODE to characterize the regulatory landscape of hundreds of human transcription factors, a collaborative project with the CAGEKID program to characterize the genomic and epigenomic landscape of renal cell carcinoma, and ongoing projects in collaboration with researchers at University of California, San Francisco to characterize the structural RNA elements that govern post-transcriptional regulation. Successful applicants should have a PhD in computational biology or related areas. Strong analytical and programming skills, as well as experience with common bioinformatics tools and data resources are essential. Preference will be given to candidates who have experience in design and implementation of computational methods for analysis of large-scale genomics data, such as ChIP-seq and RNA-seq.
Familiarity with methods in machine learning and statistical inference are highly desired. Successful candidates should have the ability to work both independently and as a team member in a multi-disciplinary environment.
