Bioinformatics postdoctoral positions in Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma

Houston, TX, United States

Job Description:

The ultimate goal of the Green Laboratory is to understand the molecular etiology of B-cell lymphoma and myeloma, and to use this knowledge to identify novel therapeutic strategies. Our laboratory employs high-throughput genomics to interrogate primary tumor specimens, including genome-, exome-, RNA-, ChIP- and ATAC-sequencing, as well as cutting-edge single cell DNA, transcriptome and ATAC sequencing approaches. This position will entail the utilization of existing pipelines and the creation of new pipelines to interrogate in integrate these datasets, towards providing biological insight. The postdoctoral fellow will work closely with a team of wet lab researchers in the Green Laboratory, and will have great opportunities to collaborate with diverse groups of physicians, scientists and computational biologists at MDACC and the Texas Medical Center.

Requirements:

Individuals with a PhD degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics, genome science or a related field are encouraged to apply. A strong computational background, proficiency in at least one programming language (e.g., R, Python, Perl, C++, Java) and knowledge of statistics are required. Training experience in machine learning and deep learning, experience working in high computing cluster environment, experience working with ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, Hi-C, or other large-scale epigenomics data analysis is highly preferred. A good understanding of cancer biology, cell signaling pathways, or drug response mechanisms is also preferred. Proven track record of publications, good spoken and written English communication skills are required.

Contact:

Interested applicants should send a cover letter describing your past research experience/skills and future research interests/plans, a curriculum vitae and the contact information of at least three references to Dr. Michael Green (mgreen5@mdanderson.org) with the subject line ‘Postdoc-Application - Your Name’.
