Positions
Updated 10/2018:
A post-doc researcher position in
computational biology focused on gene regulation and epigenetics is available
in the lab of Weiqun Peng at the George Washington University, DC. Current
areas of interests include integrative analysis of multi-omics data (including
transcriptome, epigenome and 3D genome) to decipher gene regulatory network in
immune system, and development and application of analysis methodologies to
characterize novel epigenetic and post-transcriptional gene regulatory modes as
well as their functional implications. The candidate is expected to closely
interact with experimental collaborators.
Qualifications:
The ideal applicant should hold a doctoral degree or equivalent
qualification in computational biology, bioinformatics, (bio)statistics,
computer science, physical science or a similar field. Strong programming and
quantitative background are required. Previous experience in computational
genomics and/or machine-learning approaches are desirable. A successful candidate
is expected to possess strong motivation, critical thinking ability and
effective communication skills.
Additional Information:
Interested applicants please send a cover letter (with a brief
description of research experience and interests), CV and the contact
information of at least three references to Dr. Weiqun Peng (wpeng at gwu dot edu).
