Postdoctoral Associate - Brain Cancer Epigenomics
Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX, United States
Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
Summary
The Postdoctoral Associate will perform independent research on pediatric brain tumors. The Postdoctoral Associate has experience with bioinformatics and computational biology and will be able to guide and supervise the work of other staff and trainees in the lab. The Associate must have solid knowledge of the biological principles driving brain tumors, and proven experience with implementation of bioinformatics (single-cell genomics, epigenomic platforms, mutation analyses).
Baylor College of Medicine typically follows similar to the NIH stipulated stipend guidelines for Postdoctoral Associates.
Job Duties
Integrates several data types that includes, for instance, single‑cell transcriptomic and epigenomic data to generate hypotheses that will be tested functionally, using tumor models.
Discovers a putative important role for a gene.
Follows up with collaborative functional experiments that will test whether removing/turning off that gene has any effects on behavior and phenotypes of cancer models.
Supervises daily activities by trainees (graduate students, other postdoctoral fellows) and staff (lab technicians).
Performs other job‑related duties as assigned.
Minimum Qualifications
MD or Ph.D. in Basic Science, Health Science, or a related field.
No experience required.
Preferred Qualifications
PhD in informatics‑related fields and/or biological sciences.
Postdoctoral Associate less than 5 years from date of Ph.D. conferral date.
Experience with implementation of bioinformatics (single‑cell genomics, epigenomic platforms, mutation analyses).
Has solid knowledge of the principles driving brain tumor biology.
Baylor College of Medicine is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action/Equal Access Employer.
