美国芝加哥大学2022年招聘博士后职位（计算生物学/生物信息学）

芝加哥大学（The University of Chicago，简称UChicago、“芝大”）由石油大王约翰·洛克菲勒于1890年创办，坐落于美国金融中心芝加哥，是一所私立研究型大学，入选英国政府“高潜力人才签证计划”。

Postdoctoral Research Associate – Computational Biology / Bioinformatics

Position Summary

The laboratory of Dr. Jalees Rehman in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics at the University of Illinois, College of Medicine (Chicago) has openings for a highly motivated post-doctoral fellow with research track record in any of the following areas: computational biology, bioinformatics, data science or genomics. The willingness to develop new analytical approaches and experiment with novel concepts is expected. Our laboratory develops novel computational approaches to infer cellular functions in health and disease by analyzing single cell RNA-sequencing, single cell multi-omic and spatial transcriptomic data. Our laboratory consists of a computational team and a wet lab team, working on a broad range of topics such as immunology, inflammation, vascular biology, neurobiology, SARS-CoV-2 infections and stem cell biology. Examples of our recent publications include Jambusaria A, eLife (2020) and Gao S, Genome Research (2021). Computational team members routinely interact and co-publish with wet lab scientists via mutually beneficial collaborations. We provide a strong mentoring environment that helps post-doctoral fellows forge their own career paths at the interface of computational biology and biomedical research questions. Eligible postdocs within the first two years of completing their doctoral degree will be given the opportunity of submitting an NIH K99/R00 award which represents a key path towards independence. Postdoctoral fellows who are not eligible for the K99/R00 award will be provided other mentored career development opportunities for careers in academia or industry. The salary range is $62,000 – $70,000 and commensurate with prior experience.

Duties and Responsibilities

· Developing novel research projects in computational biology under the guidance of the principal investigator

· Analyze, interpret, and integrate multi-omic datasets.

· Work in close collaboration with wet-lab scientists and develop analysis pipelines

· Prepare scientific results for publication in peer-reviewed journals and/or grant applications.

· Communicate results at internal and external scientific conferences.

· Assist in the training of graduate students.

Minimum Qualifications

· PhD degree in computational biology, bioinformatics, mathematics, computer science, biostatistics, genomics or a related field.

· At least one first authored, original research publication focusing on developing novel analytical approaches in computational biology, bioinformatics or genomics.

· Experience with the analysis of RNA-sequencing data

· Strong programming skills in R or Python

Preferred Qualifications

· Experience with the development of novel software packages in R or Python.

· Expertise in machine learning / deep learning

· Experience with analyzing single cell RNA-sequencing, single cell ATAC-sequencing data or spatial transcriptomics data

· Multiple publications (first-authored as well as co-authored) that involve the development or application of computational approaches in genomics

To Apply

Applicants should email a single pdf file containing a cover letter with brief description of research experience and future interests, curriculum vitae, and list of three references. Send to jalees@uic.edu.
