Bioinformatic postdoctoral fellow in stem cell biology and neuroscience (gene expression and regulation)

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to study stem cell biology and neuroscience using Systems Biology approaches in the Department of Neurosurgery, and Center for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Texas McGovern Medical School at Houston.

Our laboratory combines stem cell biology and systems-based approaches involving functional genomics and next-generation sequencing technologies to unravel gene transcription and regulatory mechanisms governing neural differentiation and neurological disorders. We are currently pursuing basic and translational research in neurotrauma and regeneration (seehttp://jiaqianwulab.org/).

Qualified candidates should:

• Have strong background and skills in bioinformatics, statistics and next-generation sequencing data analysis; biological experimental background and knowledge are preferred

• Demonstrated proficiency as evidenced by relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals and is interested in acquiring new skills.

The candidate will have the opportunity to pursue highly collaborative projects with significant translational impact, alongside with stem cell researchers and clinicians.

Our lab is located in the beautiful new facility of the Brown Foundation Institute of Molecular Medicine in the Texas Medical Center.
