1. Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology / Bioinformatics
One postdoctoral position in computational biology and bioinformatics is available in the Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. The appointee will support and complement ongoing projects in developing computational approaches/pipelines to integrate and analyze large-scale (epi)genomic, expression and interaction data sets for scientific discovery and validation.
Candidate must have or be close to obtaining a Ph.D. in quantitative fields (include but not limited to Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, and Physics) and have demonstrated a high level of research productivity through publication in top peer-reviewed conferences and journals. Extensive experiences using scripting languages (e.g. Perl, Python) and statistical/mathematical toolkits (e.g. R, SAS, Matlab, Mathematica) are required. Proficiency with programming languages including C/C++/Java is desirable. Knowledge of machine/statistical learning and mathematical modeling techniques is also desirable. As a team player working closely with cross-institutional scientists with broad areas of expertise, strong interpersonal and communication skills are essential.
Applicants should email a single PDF file including cover letter, CV, brief research statement and list of 3 references to x.shi@uncc.edu.
2. Ph.D. Students
