Job Description

A Ph.D. level research position is available in molecular genetics and bioinformatics utilizing Xiphophorus and medaka fish models (http://www.xiphophorus.txstate.edu/) to explore gene interaction and regulation events within interspecies hybrids. Desirable candidates will have experience in performing independent research investigations and effective personal skills needed to perform comparative genomic and gene expression studies using novel data stemming from dose response and tumor inducting experiments. Expertise in bioinformatic data processing (RNAseq) and data mining with previous research experience is required. Prior experience in setting up and maintaining large databases (i.e., next generation sequence data) and knowledge of current data analyses programs is desired.

Preference will be given to candidates having experience in genome biology, computer science, or bioinformatics. Ideally candidates will be familiar with management and analysis of large-scale genomics datasets, in particular RNA sequencing data. Basic skills in command line operation, Linux operating systems and a strong background in at least one scripting or programming language (e.g. Perl, Python) will be considered an advantage. This post will provide excellent experience and access to novel data in this rapidly developing field for individuals looking to advance towards an independent research career.

Salaries are competitive and this position will be provided both technical and travel support for training workshops and visitations at collaborating laboratories. Length of appointment is anticipated to be 2 years, dependent on progress.
