美国杜克大学细胞生物学博士后职位

The Reddy Lab within the center for Genomic and Computational Biology and the Department of Biostatistics & Bioinformatics at Duke University Medical Center is seeking a Postdoctoral Associate to investigate the effects of genetic variation on genome activity and gene regulation. Genome-wide association studies have clearly established that genetic variation that alters gene regulation is a major contributor to disease. A major focus of the Reddy Lab at Duke is developing and applying novel high-throughput experimental strategies to measure the effects of non-coding genetic variation on genomic regulatory activity. The postdoctoral associate will have a major responsibility in the continued development of these experimental strategies, with particular application to aspects of maternal health during pregnancy. The research will rely heavily on high-throughput sequencing and CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, giving the successful candidate extensive hands-on exposure to these cutting-edge techniques.

Candidates must have a PhD degree in molecular biology, biochemistry, or a related field. Experience with high-throughput sequencing is highly preferable and downstream computational analysis is highly desirable.

The position is available immediately and will be filled as soon as possible. Appointments will be made on a renewable one-year contract with the expectation of at least a three-year term.
