This position is open to applicants currently residing in the United States only, regardless of immigration status. US citizens as well as international applicants within the US are welcome to apply, but applicants from outside the US will not be considered.
Dr. Rehan Akbani's lab at the Dept. of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at MD Anderson Cancer Center is seeking a postdoctoral fellow. The individual will work on cutting edge cancer related research projects at one of the top ranked cancer hospitals in the US. The work involves computational analysis and no wet lab experience is required. The candidate must be proficient in programming and writing scientific articles. We analyze data from a multitude of genomic platforms, including sequencing, RNA, miRNA and protein expression, DNA methylation, mutations and copy number variations. The work is not limited to one cancer type, but spans multiple cancers and involves a diverse range of analyses. We are especially involved in the prestigious project The Cancer Genome Atlas, the largest cancer research project at the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The position promises participation in such high profile ventures.
Candidates must be proficient in programming, in languages such as R, Matlab, Perl or Java/Java Script. Basic biology and statistics background are expected, but an advanced understanding of cancer biology is not required. A PhD in any of the basic sciences will be satisfactory. We offer a highly competitive salary plus benefits in the city of Houston, Texas, USA.
MD Anderson Cancer Center has topped U.S. News & World Report’s "America’s Best Cancer Hospitals" ranking many times in the last several years. We offer a rich and creative environment where independent research is encouraged. |
