Description
The Brkanac laboratory invites applications from highly motivated candidates for a postdoctoral position. We are interested in a discovery of rare highly penetrant variants responsible for familial forms of complex neuropsychiatric diseases using next generation sequencing and bioinformatics approaches. The applicants must hold a Ph.D. level degree in life sciences or computer science with some relevant research experience in both areas and at least one first-authored publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The position requires programming skills, knowledge of bioinformatics including analysis of next generation sequencing data and experience in molecular genetics/genomics. The successful candidate will be self-motivated, keen to acquire new knowledge and skills and eager to produce scientific publications.
The University of Washington is an excellent environment for training in genomics.
Seattle is a desirable to live, vibrant major metropolitan area. To inquire please send a CV, a statement of research interest including description of experience in genomics and bioinformatics and contact information of three references to zbrkanac@uw.edu.
Requirements:
• Ph.D. computer or life sciences or science with some relevant research experience in both areas and at least one first-authored publication in a peer-reviewed journal.
• Background in bioinformatics, molecular biology and genomics .
• Knowledge of bioinformatics tools and genomics databases (dbSNP, UCSC) including data uploads.
• Previous experience with next generation sequencing or GWAS data.
• Experience using Linux operating systems.
• Experience in Perl, Python programming.
• Strong organizational and record keeping skills to record experiment results and analyze data.
• Effective written communication skills to publish results.
