美国匹兹堡大学招聘生物信息以及计算生物学博士后

Two postdoc positions in the area of Bioinformatics/Computational Biology are available in the Kostka Lab ( www.kostkalab.net ) at the University of Pittsburgh. The scope of the positions includes:

• Computational analysis and statistical modeling of second-generation sequencing experiments

• Extending models from statistical phylogenetics to different types of high-throughput genomics data

In-house sequencing technology (SOLiD and Ion Torrent) is available, and projects can be implemented as close, ongoing collaborations between experimental and computational scientists.

Applicants should have a PhD in fields such as statistics, computer science, bioinformatics and computational biology (or similar) and a strong interest in biological/biomedical questions. Good programming skills (R, C/C++, perl, python, etc.) are essential, and familiarity with Unix-like operating systems is required.

The University of Pittsburgh is ranked among the top ten NIH funded research institutions in the US, and the Kostka Lab (School of Medicine, Departments of Developmental Biology, and Computational & Systems Biology) is housed in the new Rangos Research Center of the Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh itself is considered to be amongst the most livable cities in the US ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh#Livability ). Applications including cover letter, CV and contact information for three references should be sent to kostka@pitt.edu with [postdoc] in the subject line.
