Postdoctoral Fellows.University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center

Duties & Responsibilities: The postdoctoral fellows will work under the supervision of Dr. Peng Qiu. The primary research focus will be on developing novel computational methodology for the analysis of complex, high-dimensional genomics and proteomics data. Specific research directions and projects include: (1) analysis of flow cytometry data and CyTOF, (2) integration of multiple data sources (i.e. copy number, methylation, gene expression, microRNA). (3) differential equation modeling and information geometry.




Company Information: The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is located in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, TX. The Division of Quantitative Sciences includes two departments (the Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology and the Department of Biostatistics), and has over 150 members, including 35 full time and 5 part-time faculty researchers. The Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology houses one of seven Genome Data Analysis Centers (GDACs) for The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA).

Position Qualifications: We are recruiting creative and enthusiastic recent PhD graduates, with background in statistics, computer science, electrical engineering, or physics. Experiences and interests in high-dimensional biological data analysis are required, i.e., genomics data, next-generation sequencing data and flow cytometry data. Programming languages such as R or Matlab is required. Experiences with one or more of the above three research directions in "Duties & Responsibilities" above are preferred.
