美国圣朱迪儿童研究医院2020年招收博士后研究助理

Summary

A postdoctoral research associate position is immediately available in the lab of Dr. Jinghui Zhang, Chair of the Department of Computational Biology, for a highly motivated candidate to investigate 3D genome architecture in pediatric cancer. The candidate with be part of the 3D Genome Collaborative Research Consortium formed by distinguished researchers at St. Jude, Dana-Faber Cancer Institute, and MIT. The candidate will be developing innovative methods and perform analysis for discovery of cis-regulatory variants and for investigating heterogeneity in 3D genome architecture at the level of single cell. The appointment will be for 2-5 years, depending on the candidate’s goals, qualifications, and productivity.

Recognized as a world leader of genomic research in pediatric cancer, the Zhang lab has led the characterization of the genomic landscape for over 20 subtypes of pediatric cancers with high-impact publications in Nature, Nature Genetics, Nature Methods, JAMA, Cancer Cell, and NEJM in the last five years. The lab has a well-established track record of developing and publishing novel and high-impact analytical and visualization tools for cancer genomic research. Research in the lab is facilitated by access to the wealth of high-quality data, state-of-art high performance computing facility, robust analytical pipelines, latest laboratory technology and scientific expertise in genomics, cancer biology, and mathematics and computer science.

St. Jude provides a highly interactive and supportive environment for researchers’ career development.
