Postgraduate Associate Trainee in the Reilly Laboratory

Job description

Description Introduction of Department/Lab: The Reilly Lab in the Genetics Department at Yale School of Medicine ( www.reilly-lab.com ) is seeking postgraduate researchers with either a wet lab or computational focus. We’re a collaborative, hard-working, and supportive team that develops and uses cutting-edge genomic tools to study human disease and evolution. The promise of unlocking the human genome’s full potential to cure disease or understand our evolutionary history hinges on our ability to build new tools for interpreting uncharacterized genomic regions . To that end we’ve developed cutting-edge methods for CRISPR genome editing, high-throughput reporter assays to identify causal variants, and machine learning models trained on these data to predict functional consequences of mutation. Our work has been published in Nature, Science, Cell, and we’re active participants in multiple international consortia, including ENCODE, IGVF, Zoonomia, and the Longevity Project. Overview of the Position: We are looking for strong, ambitious candidates with previous research backgrounds in molecular biology, human genetics, evolutionary biology, genomic technologies, bioinformatics, or mach...
