Full/Part Time Status:
Full Time
Percent Time:
100%
Position Description:
The Statistical Bioinformatics Lab of the University of Iowa (http://www.healthcare.uiowa.edu/labs/au/) is seeking candidates for postdoctoral research scholar positions to work on transcriptomics analyses. Possible topics to work on include but not limited to:
i) Methodology research of Third Generation Sequencing (TGS) (especially for PacBio and Oxford Nanopore sequencing), Hybrid sequencing (Second Generation
Sequencing (SGS) + TGS) and TGS-alone methodology research are our research interest.
ii) Gene isoform specific analysis, such as abundance estimation, differential analysis and regulatory network.
iii) Cancer transcriptome analysis. Au lab is interested in solving the complexity of cancer transcriptome, such as tumor heterogeneity, by TGS and Hybrid-Seq,
The postdoctoral scholars will develop statistical and computational/algorithmic methods for analyses and integration of large-scale, multi-species genomic/transcriptomic data from diverse biological and clinical samples, including Second/Third Generation Sequencing. He/she will have the opportunity to collaborate with internationally recognized biomedical scientists at University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine, Stanford University, University of Oxford and Pacific Biosciences.
The Carver College of Medicine of University of Iowa is among the top ten public medical schools in National Institutes of Health funding. The University-owned teaching hospital is one of the largest in the United States. The Department of Internal Medicine and the College of Medicine house internationally and nationally recognized centers across the biomedicine disciplines. The University of Iowa is located in Iowa City, a vibrant community located in the rolling hills of southeastern Iowa. The community offers excellent nationally ranked primary and secondary schools, quality entertainment, literary, musical and cultural opportunities, and Big 10 sporting events.
Education Requirement:
The applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in bioinformatics, biostatistics or closely related fields.
Required Qualifications:
Strong ability in computer programming (python/perl, C/C++, R) or statistical analysis is required.
Desirable Qualifications:
An established track record in sequencing analysis is desirable.
