Post-doctoral researcher to lead NIMH-funded project related to CNV/SNV/indel discovery in autism and epilepsy using exome and whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data generated in our Lab as part of our clinical genomics program (pintolab.mssm.edu/nddprogram), and further integrate with external data. Relevant findings will be followed-up in IPSC-derived neural progenitor cells. The position requires a quantitative background and/or extensive experience with genomic data analysis. Experience in molecular biology and functional validation of disease-associated variants, including cell culture, is a plus but not required. The selected applicant will work within a multidisciplinary team, and interact with clinical scientists, clinical research coordinators and database manager. This position requires demonstrated experience with UNIX, Python, and/or C/C++, and R, and expertise with exome or WGS data.
Interested candidates can send their CV, a short description of research interests and experience, and contact information for three references by email to dalila.pinto@mssm.edu. Application Deadline: New.
Post-doctoral researcher to lead NIMH-funded project related to the generation and analysis of short-read and long-read RNAseq in brain samples. The position involves integrating non-coding and coding RNA from large scale data with prior genetic knowledge and epigenetic data, as well as quantifying isoforms, co-expression and network-based analyses and modeling to assess the role of non-coding RNA in gene regulatory networks. The selected applicant will work within a multidisciplinary team and participate in the PsychENCODE consortium (http://psychencode.org/). This position requires demonstrated experience with UNIX, Python, C/C++ and R, and expertise with RNAseq data.
Interested candidates can send their CV, a short description of research interests and experience, and contact information for three references by email to dalila.pinto@mssm.edu. Application Deadline: New.
