Job Description:
One postdoctoral fellow/staff scientist position is immediately available in the Laboratory of Genome Integrity (Center for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health) to use computational methods in the study of mechanisms involved in DNA double-strand break repair and the roles of repair proteins in a variety of cancers that include leukemias and breast cancers, using mouse models. The ideal candidate will play a leading role in providing computational and biological insight by analyzing large data sets derived from genomics, epigenetics and proteomics experiments. The position will emphasize efforts to understand gene regulation, chromatin, regulatory and coding variation and its relation to cancer. The position will support all laboratory investigators who use applications involving high-throughput DNA sequencing methods for a variety of assays, including RNA-seq, exon sequencing, ATAC-seq, DNase-seq, ChIP-seq and newer, cutting-edge methodologies such as END-seq.

The candidate will have a strong computational as well as a strong biological background, an interdisciplinary background in bioinformatics and computational biology, advanced expertise in the analysis and interpretation of sequencing data generated in-house and its integration with other “omics” data sources such as ENCODE and TCGA. Laboratory bench experience, while not essential, will be considered an advantage.

Experience Required:

Qualified candidates should have:

  • A Ph.D. in computational biology, bioinformatics, mathematics, or related field
  • Ability to program in Python/Perl and R/Matlab in Unix environment are required
  • Knowledge of SQL will be considered a plus
  • Demonstrated applied bioinformatics/computational proficiency as evidenced by relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals.
