The Lau and Marr labs at Brandeis University are recruiting a joint-postdoctoral position in Computational Biology of RNA-centric gene regulation. We are looking for a candidate with a PhD and prior bioinformatics experience, particulary in analysis of deep-sequencing and gene expression data. The position entails interfacing with molecular biologists in analysing large datasets from small RNA, RNA-Seq , ChIP-Seq, and polysome profiling libraries as well as other cutting edge techniques employing Illumina deep-sequencing technology. This position also offers ample opportunity for a computationalist to gain practical wet-lab experience in the expanding realms of molecular biology.
The Lau lab studies gene regulation mechanisms by small RNAs and RNAi in animals. The Marr lab studies transcription and translation mechanisms linked to Insulin signaling and aging processes. The Biology Department is a top-tier, vibrant academic research environment with extensive facilties and seminar activities as well as opportunities in undergraduate teaching. Brandies University is located in Waltham, a suburb of Boston, MA.
Candidates should have a PhD degree in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Biophysics, Biochemistry, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Programming skills and experience with high-throughput genomic data are highly desirable. Excellent communications skills and the ability to work on a variety of projects are essential.
Candidates should send an email to
