Job Description
Location: Center for Molecular Medicine and Genetics (CMMG), Wayne State University School of Medicine. The CMMG is a unique interdisciplinary unit within Wayne State University’s School of Medicine. The center is built around modern molecular genetics, and comprises basic researchers, physician-scientists, computational scientists, and genetic counselors. For more information please see http://cmmg.biosci.wayne.edu/.
Description: Full-time position. We are seeking a postdoctoral fellow or research analyst who can take the lead on analyzing genomic data from multiple interrelated projects with the potential to yield multiple high-impact papers. Position would be jointly funded by two PIs with an extensive history of collaboration (Wildman and Uddin); successful applicants would work closely with both PIs.
Job Functions: • Develop and implement statistically robust, systems biology approaches to analyzing gene expression and DNA methylation microarray data. • Develop and implement statistical analyses of genomic data integrated across multiple levels (i.e. miRNA expression, gene expression, DNA methylation and DNA sequence variation). • Analyze next generation sequencing data and compile the results from multiple species for evolutionary analysis. • Draft manuscripts in part (i.e. methods, results) or whole, as the project requires. • Provide oral and written progress updates to PIs and other lab members.
Qualifications: PhD in biostatistics or genomics required. Familiarity with analyzing genomic data (including gene expression and methylation microarray, next generation and exome sequencing) as well as expertise in evolutionary genetic and genomic analysis preferred. Experience with and facility using R, Bioconductor required; knowledge of SAS a bonus. Strong written and oral communication skills a must. Salary commensurate with experience.
