Job Description:
The Computational Regulatory Genomics Laboratory (computbio.org) at the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) is seeking a highly motivated Bioinformatics Analyst, Postdoctoral Research Fellow, or Staff Scientist. This opportunity is open to candidates at various career stages, and the exact position and title will be commensurate with their qualifications and experience. The lab develops computational methods to understand the fundamental mechanisms of gene transcriptional regulation across various biological contexts, including developmental biology, cancer biology, and metabolism. Our research focuses on enhancer regulation and systems-level understanding of enhancer architectures and functions across diverse biological contexts. We integrate multi-omics data, including ChIP-seq, ChIP-exo, CUT&RUN, GRO-seq, csRNA-seq, RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, Hi-C, and single-cell technologies, to delineate heterogeneous architectures of transcription factor binding events and chromatin landscapes at high resolution. The lab collaborates with multiple experimental laboratories across metabolism, cancer, and development. The lab’s work has been published in many high-profile journals, including Nature, Cell Metabolism, Molecular Cell, Genes & Development, Circulation, Nature Communications, and the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
