Postdoctoral Research Position in Statistical Genomics and 'Omics

---

Description:

Postdoctoral Research Fellow position in statistical genomics and 'omics is available at Harvard School of Public Health. This position involves developing and applying statistical and computational methods for analysis of high-throughput genomic and epigenetic data in population-based and clinical studies. We seek an individual with strong statistical, computing and genetic backgrounds and who has expertise in some subset of high-dimensional data analysis, statistical genomics, genome-wide analysis, gene-environment interactions, and epigenetics. The work will involve both methodological research with department faculty and collaboration with subject matter researchers.

Qualifications:

Ph.D in a quantitative field, e.g., statistics or biostatistics, computer sciences, strong quantitative research background, statistical and programming proficiency, as well as good written and oral communication skills.

Additional Information:

Postdoctoral Research Position in Functional Genomics

---

Description:

The Huttenhower Lab in the Department of Biostatistics at the Harvard School of Public Health is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. This researcher will join a growing lab working in the area of functional genomic data integration, with a particular focus on metazoan interaction network analysis as applied to the study of human disease. The successful applicant will pursue research in heterogeneous data integration, develop computational models of tissue- and time-specific protein function, perform data mining for functional linkages to disease, and collaborate closely with biologists.

Qualifications:

Doctoral degree in Computer Science, Biology, Bioinformatics, or a related field; familiarity with diverse genomic data types, particularly microarray integration and meta-analysis, as indicated by publication record; proficient in C/C++ and appropriate scripting languages; ability to communicate scientific material and collaborate well.

Additional Information:
