The Peng Lab (https://yirongpeng.com/) at the University of California, Los Angeles is seeking dedicated Postdoctoral Fellows with a background in data science and bioinformatics to help us gain a broader understanding of the neurodevelopment and neurodegeneration through computational analyses. The role involves the application of state-of-the-art bioinformatic methods to high-dimensional data and perform integrative and exploratory analysis. In return, we offer a robust environment for learning advanced genetic technology, viral manipulation, molecular biology, and behavioral analyses needed to study the molecular principles of visual function and disease. For more details, see www.yirongpeng.com. We are committed to the academic growth and success of postdoctoral fellows and are looking for highly motivated applicants to join our vibrant team.

Responsibilities:

Lead projects on developing novel analyses to study the development and degeneration of the visual system
Acquire, process, integrate, and standardize large datasets and build databases
Perform integrative and exploratory analyses of multi-omics datasets

Selection criteria

Ph.D. in systems biology, bioinformatics, data science, computational biology, or other related fields
Considerable experience in data analysis and handling ‘omics' datasets - genomics transcriptomics, proteomics
Proficient use of Linux, R, Python
Excellent communication and writing skills, with the ability to collaborate easily
Background knowledge in Biology or Neuroscience
