Experimental and Computational Biology Positions in Stem Cell Epigenomics
Postdoctoral and Research Assistant Positions are available in the laboratory of Dr. Benjamin Kidder at Wayne State University in the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute, an NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Our lab focuses on epigenetic mechanisms of stem cell fate, genome stability, and reprogramming/transdifferentiation, using experimental, genomics, and bioinformatics approaches. We integrate functional studies and computational analysis of epigenomic and transcriptomic data. More information can be found on our website: https://benjaminkidderlab.com/
Experimental biologists with broad expertise in stem cell or cancer biology, mammalian tissue culture, next-generation sequencing, molecular biology, biochemistry, mouse models, bioinformatics or an equivalent field are encouraged to apply. This position offers the opportunity to work closely with computational biologists or bioinformaticians in a collaborative environment. The successful applicant should have a (1) Ph.D. degree in Cellular or Molecular Biology, Biochemistry or an equivalent field and the following qualities: (2) skilled and highly motivated, (3) first or co-first author publications, (4) excellent communication skills (oral and written).
Qualified bioinformaticians or computational biologists should have a (1) Ph.D. or master’s degree in Bioinformatics, Genomics, Computer Science, Statistics, or a related field, (2) computer programming skills in at least one language (python, perl, C/C++, R), (3) experience with analyzing next-generation datasets, (4) first or co-first publications, (5) excellent communication skills (oral and written).
Interested applicants should email a cover letter with a description of research interests, curriculum vitae, and contact information for three references with subject “Postdoctoral Position” to Dr. Benjamin Kidder at: Benjamin.kidder@wayne.edu
