Job Summary
Position Summary
The laboratory of Dr. Terry Furey in UNC Chapel Hills Department of Genetics seeks a post-doctoral research associate to participate in their Crohns disease-focused genomics research program. Along with the lab of Dr. Shehzad Sheikh MD PhD a clinical molecular scientist and close collaborator of over five years Dr. Fureys laboratory aims uncover the mechanistic linkages between the genome ( DNA sequence variants) epigenome (chromatin accessibility) and the environment (intestinal microbiome clinical history) in the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel diseases ( IBD ) in particular Crohns disease. The Furey Lab has performed multiple functional genomics experiments ( ATAC -seq RNA -seq miRNA-seq 16S rRNA gene sequencing) in tissue samples and individual cell types from colons and ileums of genotyped human IBD patients and controls. The post-doctoral research associate will help lead the effort to further understand the molecular basis of this disease. Candidates with experience linking genetic variation with disease risk are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will gain experience in a number of cutting-edge computational genomics analyses techniques and gain knowledge and expertise in diagnosis and treatment of IBD . Importantly these projects have great potential to become independent research projects that would further ambitious motivated post-doctoral addition to research the post-doctoral research associate will be actively involved with writing scientific papers and presenting talks at scientific meetings.
Required Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Laboratory research experience in computational biology
Preferred Qualifications Competencies And Experience
Candidates applying should be proficient in one or more of the following programming languages: Python Perl R Java C. Candidates must have experience analyzing high-throughput sequencing data from functional genomics experiments such as RNA -seq ATAC -seq and DNase-seq. Candidates must also have experiences performing human genetic analyses of complex traits. Experience performing research in inflammatory bowel diseases or human diseases desired. Candidates should also have strong communication and analytical skills.
