Job Description:
A postdoctoral position is available in the team of “Epigenetics and COPD (EAC)”. We are looking for a highly-motivated researcher with a keen interest in bioinformatics and statistics and with a proven track record in next-generation sequencing data analysis. You will contribute to an internationally competitive research group which employs high-throughput epigenomics assays, such as whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS), ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq in combination with cutting-edge epigenetic and molecular biology tools to advance our biological understanding of the disease, identify epigenetic biomarkers for diagnosis and devise novel therapeutic strategies. Required skills: -PhD in the area of bioinformatics, computational biology, systems biology, biostatistics or a related field. -Extensive experience in mining, integration and analysis of multiple next-generation sequencing data sets. -Experience with common bioinformatics methods, tools, websites (e.g. NCBI, UCSC, Ensembl) and data resources (e.g. TCGA ENCODE). -Experience with retrieving, normalizing and analysing high-throughput datasets using R packages / Bioconductor, as well as in the visual presentation of biological data from high-throughput experiments. -Excellent communication skills, very good written and spoken English and ability to conduct research independently. Candidates are requested to submit: -1-page cover letter explaining the reasons of interest to join our team. -Curriculum Vitae outlining scientific interests, research achievements, a record of publications, future personal goals and extra-scientific passions. -2 reference names. -a brief project proposal on how to analyze epigenetic data within the above-mentioned scope (one page maximum) The position is available as of March 01, 2017.
