Postdoctoral Associate - Brain Cancer Epigenomics

Job description

Summary The Postdoctoral Associate will perform independent research on pediatric brain tumors. The Postdoctoral Associate will have experience with bioinformatics and computational biology and will be able to guide and supervise the work of other staff and trainees in the lab. Postdoctoral Associate must have a solid knowledge of the biological principles driving brain tumors, and proven experience with implementation of bioinformatics (single-cell genomics, epigenomic platforms, mutation analyses). Baylor College of Medicine typically follows similar to the NIH stipulated stipend guidelines for Postdoctoral Associates. Job Duties: - Integrates several data types that includes, for instance, single-cell transcriptomic and epigenomic data to generate hypotheses that will be tested functionally, using tumor models. - Discovers a putative important role for a gene. - Follows up with collaborative functional experiments that will test whether removing/turning off that gene has any effects on behavior and phenotypes of cancer models. - Supervises daily activities by trainees (graduate students, other postdoctoral fellows) and staff (lab technicians). - Performs other job-related duties...
