美国加州伯克利大学招聘计算生物学博士后

A postdoctoral fellowship in computational biology is available at the lab of Dr. Nir Yosef at the Department of Computer Science and the Center for Computational Biology at UC Berkeley. The successful candidate will lead a large, industry-funded project that involves close collaboration with experimental labs at UC Berkeley. The overall goal of the project is to study the mechanisms of action and downstream effects of a number of chemical substances of interest, using human hepatocytes as a model. The work will include developing and applying computational methods for experimental design and model inference, based on transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics assays that will be conducted as a part of the project. The postdoctoral fellow will have ample opportunity to meet with leading researchers at the Center for Computational Biology and Computer Science Division at Berkeley, as well as gain valuable, hands-on experience working jointly with wet labs on experimental design and analysis.

Candidates with a PhD in computer science, computational biology or a related quantitative discipline and no more than three years of prior postdoctoral training will be considered. Excellent programming and genome data analysis skills are necessary. Hands-on knowledge of statistical tools, and genome databases is also required.
