Computational biology postdoc at UCSD

UCSD
Chemistry and Biochemistry department
United States CA San Diego

Description

A postdoc position will be available in Wei Wang's group (wanglab.ucsd.edu) at UCSD. Our group is interested in developing novel machine learning methods for integrative analysis of epigenomic data and single cell data, and discovering new biological principles. Our research ranges from understanding fundamental biological mechanisms to applying epigenomics to identify new drug targets and biomarkers. Our lab consists of both computational and experimental experts. We have also collaborated closely with various labs and clinicians specialized in various diseases.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in developing new algorithm to analyze big genomic and epigenomic data. An ideal candidate should be highly motivated, have profound knowledge of machine learning and statistics or solid training in other quantitative sciences such as physics and engineering. Proficient programming skills are essential. Previous experience of analyzing genomic or epigenomic data is a plus.

Interested applicants should send CV and statement of research to wei-wang@ucsd.edu. Please also arrange three letters of recommendation sent directly to the above email address.
