Clemson University: College of Science: Genetics & Biochemistry
Postdoctoral Fellow - Bioinformatics and Computational Biology
Location: Greenwood, SC
Dr. Zhana Duren's lab in the center for human genetics at Clemson University is looking for a postdoctoral research fellow (1 year appointment, can be renewed) to work on bioinformatics and computational biology.
Dr. Duren is an assistant professor starting in August 2020. His research interest is developing novel computational tools for integrative analysis of genomics data to infer gene regulatory networks, to detect heterogeneity by single cell genomics, and to annotate the regulatory function of genetic variants by context-specific manner. The long-term research goal is to answer the key scientific question" How non-coding genetic variant act through context specific gene regulatory network to influence phenotype". For more information, please refer to the Duren lab website: www.durenlab.com.
