Postdoctoral Associate
Tewhey Lab
Bar Harbor ME
We are looking for highly motivated and talented individuals with experimental or computational backgrounds to join our efforts in functional genomics. Opportunities are available to contribute to ongoing projects that study how genetic variation impacts cis-regulatory elements using both cellular and in vivo models with a focus on immune metabolic and aging-related phenotypes. We also welcome applicants interested in applying machine learning approaches to model regulatory activity and in developing synthetic gene regulatory elements for therapeutic and biomedical purposes. Candidates interested in applying our experimental approaches to their disease of interest are also encouraged to apply.
QUALIFICATIONS
- M.D or Ph.D. in biology engineering computer science physics mathematics or related fields.
- Strong publication record as objective evidence of scientific and research involvement/potential/achievement.
- For experimental focused applicants a working knowledge of scientific computing software (R) and scripting languages (bash/perl/python).
- For computational focused applicants experience in human genetics and handling large genomic datasets is preferred. However prior training in the biological sciences is not a prerequisite for applicants with a strong desire to learn.
- A passion for solving important challenges facing humanity and advancing our understanding of the human body
