Job Description:
We are seeking a talented, highly motivated, goal oriented computational biologist/data scientist for a postdoctoral research position to implement genomic and bioinformatics approached to study plant-virus interactions. Our research program focuses on molecular mechanisms of plant-virus interactions, particularly, antiviral defense and virus replication. The successful candidate will lead a project to develop innovative computational approaches to systematically generate and analyze protein, transcript and small RNA sequencing data. Our lab is located at the Nebraska Center for Virology and is part of the Department of Plant Pathology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to mentor both undergraduate and graduate students. Salary and benefits are as determined by NIH standards. Qualifications: The successful applicant will meet the following qualifications: (1) PhD in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Genomics, Genetics Molecular Biology, Plant Biology, Plant Pathology, or closely related discipline. (2) Excellent scientific and writing skills (3) Highly proficient in Perl or Python programming (4) Experience analyzing proteomic or next generation sequencing data, as demonstrated by publications (5) Experience generating protein or RNA sequencing data, or strong willingness to learn (6) Ability to work independently and in a team setting
Additional Info:
Start date: As soon as possible How to Apply: A complete application will include: 1) a cover letter (2 to 3 paragraphs) explaining personal career goals and their compatibility with this position. 2) a CV detailing work and research experience. publications, and 3) a list of three references.
