Job Description

Postdoctoral Researcher

College of Science – Bio Networks

Louisiana State University

Job Responsibilities:

The major focus of our group is on integrating multi-dimensional biological data into computer-aided drug design. We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow who will study drug-oriented interactomes by combining high-level “omics” data, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, glycomics, and genome-wide association studies with molecular and atomic-level modeling of medically relevant biomolecules and interactions among them. The main goals are to support the development of novel and safe pharmaceuticals with the enhanced selectivity profiles, and to expand the current opportunity space for polypharmacology.

Job Duties:

75% Pursue an independent research project to investigate drug-oriented interactomes by combining high-level “omics” data with molecular and atomic-level modeling and machine learning.

15% Assist with training and supervision of graduate and undergraduate students.

10% Assist with general lab maintenance (software packages, websites, webservers, publicly available datasets, etc.)

Minimum Qualifications:

PhD in (Computational) Biology/Chemistry/Biochemistry, Genomics/Genetics, Computer Science, Bioinformatics or related field; or Ph.D. and one year post-doctoral experience in a computational biology, genomics, biophysics or bioinformatics laboratory. Three years’ experience in the development of scientific codes for genomics and/or computational biology, working with high-throughput biological data (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, CLIP-seq, microarray, GWAS/SNP-chip, Hi-C, Y2H, phage display, etc.), machine learning including deep learning and data mining.

Additional Position Information:

Background Check - An offer of employment is contingent on a satisfactory pre-employment background check.
