发帖数: 104 | 1 A postdoctoral position is open in Dr. Shen’s group at the Mount Sinai
School
of Medicine in New York City. Our research focuses on bioinformatic analysis
of epigenomic data for brain diseases, such as drug addiction and depression
.
The data we work with are mainly short reads from next-generation sequencing
machines, which are generated from Mount Sinai’s sequencing core facility.
We
have accumulated more than one hundred ChIP-seq and RNA-seq run samples,
with
much more coming in the next few years.
You will use the most advanced statistical methods to analyze these data and
make a story out of it. You will also develop novel approaches to optimize
our use of these data and build applications. We routinely use different
kinds of statistical models, machine learning techniques and Bayesian
inference to work on dataset with more than 1TB. If you are very
quantitative
in mind, like to deal with large data volume and love challenges, this is a
wonderful opportunity!
My group mainly collaborates with Dr. Eric Nestler who is a world-renowned
neuroscientist. I also have collaborations with several other faculty
members
in the neuroscience department. We are very well funded and are determined
to
do the best quality research. We will pay you more than the NIH standard to
compensate for the high living cost in New York City. Depending on your
performance, you will also have the opportunity to be promoted as a staff
scientist!
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in computer science, computational biology, bioinformatics or
related fields.
- Strong problem solving skills.
- Can do attitude with some hacker’s spirits.
- Good knowledge about molecular biology, genomics and sequencing
technology.
- Strong programming skills with scripting languages such as Perl,
Python or PHP.
- At least one year experience with statistical computing platforms; R
preferred.
- Working experience with machine learning, Bayesian inference a strong
plus.
- Working experience with cloud computing a strong plus.
- Working experience with Linux operating system a must.
- Excellent communication and presentation skills.
Interested person should send his/her CV along with three references to
