A computational postdoctoral fellow position in regulatory RNAs is available immediately in Ye Ding’s RNA Bioinformatics group ( http://sfold.wadsworth.org).
A major ongoing research activity is high throughput data analysis and modeling for functional elucidation of regulatory RNAs in gene regulation.
Specific research topics include microRNAs and SNPs, circular RNAs, bacterial small RNAs and lncRNAs, with potential applications to stem cells, cancer and other human diseases.
Candidates must have solid understanding of statistical methods, preferably including Bayesian data analysis and modeling. Experience with R is expected. Understanding of molecular biology, training in Bioinformatics and familiarity with Perl or C are pluses.
A Ph.D. in Statistics or related field is required, and interest in statistical applications to molecular biology is essential.
