The Human Genome Sequencing Center at the Baylor College of Medicine is searching for a highly motivated postdoctoral researcher to join our medical genomics group. The focus of the position will be the study of cancer and human genetics, utilizing a combination of computational and analytical techniques applied to large-scale data sets produced from the next generation re-sequencing technologies.
As sequencing technologies have evolved to enable the survey of large fractions of the genome across large numbers of samples at an affordable cost, there is a great scientific opportunity to apply insightful understanding to topics in cancer biology, genomics and disease based on deep re-sequencing data sets. This is paving the way for the promised personalized health care in the future.
The successful candidate will have strong background in molecular or cell biology, with a focus on disease-related signaling pathways.
Experience with bioinformatics or statistics is desired. In-depth understanding of genomic data sets (DNA sequence, copy number or expression is advantageous.
We encourage both independent thinking and close interactions with other members in a large teamwork setting.
Minimum Education Ph.D. in molecular biology
Minimum Job Experience Experience in the field of cancer.
Skills:
*Working knowledge of Unix and PERL.
*Ability to work both independently and in a team environment.
*Excellent communication skills.
