Bioinformatics and computational biology postdoc at UC San Diego

A postdoc position will be available in Wei Wang's group (http://wanglab.ucsd.edu) at UC San Diego. Our group is interested in developing novel machine learning methods to analyze epigenomic data and discovering biological principles. Our research ranges from understanding fundamental biological mechanisms, developing novel genetic network based methods to integrate multiple omics data, to applying single cell epigenomics to identify new drug targets and biomarkers. Our lab consists of both computational and experimental experts, from which a new group member has chance to learn cutting-edge bioinformatics and genomics technologies. We have also collaborated closely with various labs and clinicians specialized in various diseases.

We are looking for candidates who are interested in biology and biomedical sciences, highly motivated, have profound knowledge of machine learning and statistics or solid training in other quantitative sciences such as computational chemistry, physics and engineering. Proficient programming skills are essential. Previous experience of analyzing genomic data or developing deep learning methods is a plus.

Interested applicants should send CV and statement of research to wei-wang@ucsd.edu. Please also arrange three letters of recommendation sent directly to the above email address.
