We are accepting applications for multiple postdoctoral research associates in the Translational Bioinformatics Lab at the University of Miami, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center to work on cancer genomic research. The positions will be supported by NCI U24 PGDAC (Ptoteogenomic Data Analysis Center) for CPTAC (Clinical Proteomic Tumor Analysis Consortium) grant and two other NCI R01 grants focusing on translational bioinformatics research for colorectal and triple-negative breast cancers. The candidates will be working in a collaborative environment with biostatisticians and bioinformaticians on translational cancer research. We are seeking highly motivated individuals to implement cutting-edge high-throughput genomic data analysis pipelines. Our lab has close connection with the Biostatistics and Bioinformatics Shared Resource at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, which provides additional opportunities to work with outstanding cancer genomic researchers on data generated from cutting-edge genomic technologies at Sylvester.
Bachelor’s degree in Bioinformatics/Computer Science/Statistics/Computational Biology/Genetics, or a related field and three years experience working in bioinformatics or related fields is required. Master or PhD degree is preferred. Excellent communications skills in English (both verbal and written). Proficiency with Linux/UNIX systems, R/Bioconductor and Perl/Python for genomic data analysis and familiar with high performance computing environment are highly desirable. Experiences with developing genomic databases, bioinformatics software or R/Bioconductor packages are also highly desirable. Fluency with MySQL and experiences with database development is preferred.
