Postdoctoral Position - Health Sciences Research
Summary
Investigator: Jean-Pierre Kocher,
Ph.D. Senior Associate Consultant
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota is seeking postdoc candidates in methodology development and annotation of DNA sequence data from high throughput, next-generation sequencing machines (e.g. Roche/454, Illumina/Solexa, ABI SOLiD).
The Division of Biomedical Statistics and Informatics (BSI) includes more than 280 experts in biostatistics, bioinformatics, and clinical informatics. Our scientists work collaboratively with basic and clinical researchers, providing analytical and interpretative expertise to enable or validate discoveries with high impact on patient care. BSI also leads the development of statistical and informatics methodologies to provide novel approaches to mine and analyze biomedical data.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The postdoc is expected to lead the development of high-performance sequence data analysis methods and pipelines, collaborate with sequencing core labs, experimental collaborators and colleagues at sequencing machine manufacturing companies. The examples of research areas are: rare mutation detection in somatic cancer samples, transcriptome profiling using 3'-tag sequencing and RNA-SEQ, and de novo assembly.
REQUIREMENTS:
Applicants must hold a Ph.D. degree in Bioinformatics, or related fields, having a solid background in developing bioinformatics tools, and with enough knowledge of molecular genetics. Experience with analysis of next generation sequencing data (454, Solexa, SOLiD) is a plus. Candidates must have strong communication skills and the ability to work in a team environment.
How to apply
Applications, including curriculum vitae and bibliography, cover letter with summary of past accomplishments, as well as three letters of recommendation (sent separately).
