PostDoc - RNA evolution

Rutgers University
New York, United States
 
Descrition
 
A postdoctoral position is available in Kevin Chen's group at Rutgers University. We are affiliated with the Departments of Genetics and Computer Science as well as the BioMaPS Institute for Quantitative Biology at Rutgers. Our group is broadly interested in developing computational methods for studying the function and evolution of small RNAs (e.g. microRNAs, piRNAs and CRISPRs). The mathematical techniques we use draw from machine learning, statistics and combinatorial algorithms. We also have close collaborations with several experimental labs. We are located at the main Rutgers campus in Piscataway, NJ, about 30 miles from New York City.
 
Requirements
 
A PhD in a computational field such as computer science, bioinformatics or a related field is required. A background in algorithm development is preferred.
 
More information and applications
 
Contracts will be one year renewable, up to two years. Please submit a cover letter, CV and contact information for three references to Kevin Chen: kcchen@biology.rutgers.edu.
