The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston is located in the world renowned Texas Medical Center. Our research group is affiliated with the Medical School, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and the School of Health Information Sciences here at the UT Health Science Center. We are in close collaborations with biologists who are leaders in a variety of fields including neurobiology and cancer biology.
Applicants are invited to apply for postdoctoral positions in the Computational Systems Biology Lab led by Dr. Yin Liu at University of Texas Health Science Center-Houston. The research interests of this lab include but not limited to signal transduction pathway modeling, non-coding RNA analysis, and Bayesian inference of biological networks. In collaboration with experimental labs, the focus of the work will be developing and applying algorithms for next-generation sequencing data analysis and biological networks inference.
The ideal applicant would have a Ph.D. preferably in computational biology, bioinformatics, biostatistics or a related field. However, individuals with strong quantitative background (statistics, computer science, mathematics, engineering, etc.) are also encouraged to apply. Research experience in cellular network modeling, biological pathways analysis, statistical genetics or biological data mining is preferred. Candidates should have strong programming skills in R, PERL or C and be able to work effectively as a research team member.
Highly motivated and creative candidates are encouraged to apply by sending the CV including a list of publications and the names of three references to yin.liu@uth.tmc.edu.
