Job Description:
The newly-established Lesch Lab at Yale School of Medicine is seeking a postdoctoral fellow in bioinformatics and regulatory genomics. Our goal as a lab is to understand how packaging of the genome in male gametes (sperm) influences the information transmitted across generations. The lab uses comparative analysis of transcriptomic and epigenomic data across mammalian species, in combination with mouse genetics and molecular biology, to tackle this problem. The successful applicant will examine evolution of chromatin state in the germ line and its relationship to gene expression evolution using existing and newly-generated datasets. We are looking for independent-minded and creative scientists who are excited to work closely with wet-lab biologists and to develop new approaches to comparative analysis of epigenomic data.

For more information on the lab’s work, see www.leschlab.org.

Qualifications:

Applicants should have or expect to receive a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, statistics, or computer science, or a Ph.D. in biology with extensive bioinformatics experience, and should have published at least one first-author paper.
