Job Description:
A postdoctoral position is available in Dr. Bing Zhang’s laboratory to work on pathway and network analysis with application to precision oncology. Our research is well-funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), and the McNair Medical Institute at The Robert and Janice McNair Foundation. We have developed several pathway and network analysis tools such as WebGestalt and NetGestalt. We are also involved in several large collaborative projects that generate multidimensional omics data at DNA, mRNA, protein, and clinical phenotype levels from human tumors, patient-derived xenografts (PDXs), and cancer cell lines. The candidate will participate in both method and tool development and biological applications, and will integrate pathway and network analysis into precision oncology discovery and practice. The position offers an excellent opportunity to conduct research in a supportive and stimulating environment, and to collaborate with bioinformaticians, biostatisticians, computer scientists, biologists, and clinicians. ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND DUTIES - Applies existing pathway and network analysis tools and methods to cancer omics studies. - Researches and evaluates new methods and algorithms for integrating into our existing pathway and network analysis tools. - Develops novel pathway and network analysis methods and algorithms. - Publishes methods, software and application papers. - Provides technical guidance, work direction and training to other lab members on pathway and network analysis.
