This post is intended to develop an exciting research project in the area of pancreatic islet regulatory genomics and biomarker discovery.
The host team is led by Jorge Ferrer, and is staffed by computational biologists, molecular biologists and geneticists. Some of the lab’s interests include (a) understanding non-coding genome function (Weedon et al, Nature Genetics 2014, Pasquali et al, Nature Genetics 2014), (b) long non-coding RNA function (Moran et al, Cell Metab 2012), and (c) developmental programming of pancreatic lineages (van Arensbergen et al, Genome Res 2010 and Genes and Dev, 2013; Solar et al, Dev Cell 2009). For a full list of references follow the links below.
The lab is located in Imperial Centre for Translational and Experimental Medicine, a new research building in Imperial College London’s major biomedical campus in Hammersmith, and works in coordination with team members based in Barcelona’s Institut d’Investigacions Biomediques August Pi i Sunyer.
For more information on the lab’s interests and publications see: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/people/j.ferrer, http://www.betacellregulation.net/.
Candidates must have a publication record. Diverse educational backgrounds are welcome, but a solid computing background is essential. Solid knowledge of a programming language (e.g Python, C/C++, Perl, R, MatLab) is required. Prior experience with genome-scale data and strong expertise in statistical analysis are highly advantageous.
Salary is £33,410 - £42,380 per annum
