One postdoctoral fellow annually renewable for at least two years is
\nimmediately sought to join the FAANG group at Department of Animal Science,
\nUC Davis.<\/p>\n
The focus of this position is to develop computational biology and
\nbioinformatics programs to analyze high-throughput data set generated from
\nnext generation sequencing including RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, single-
\ncell sequencing, Pac Bio Iso-seq, and CAGE-seq data among others. The
\ncandidate will have opportunity to work or participate on multiple funded
\ngenomics projects: \u201cHigh throughput characterization of gene transcript
\nvariants by full-length single-molecule sequencing to improve farm animal
\ngenome annotation\u201d \u201cFunctional annotation and validation of regulatory
\nelements in the chicken genome\u201d \u201cEpigenetic control of preimplantation
\ndevelopment\u201d. There will be great opportunities to collaborate and\/or
\ninteract with bioinformatic scientists at the UC Davis Genome Center and
\nbioinformatic institutes across the world.<\/p>\n
Candidates should have some background in two or more of the following
\nareas: bioinformatics, biological system modeling, genomics, biology and
\nstatistics. The ideal candidate should have demonstrated ability to: 1)
\nPerform data analyses using next generation sequencing data; 2) Familiarity
\nwith biological concepts of gene transcription, gene regulation, and
\nprotein translation; 3) Familiarity with bioinformatic tools and concepts.<\/p>\n
The candidate should be exposed or have knowledge in programming language,
\nR, Perl and C++, SQL and Java. Candidates with PhD or Masters in
\nBioinformatics\/biostatistics, Computational Biology, Genomics, and
\nMolecular Genetics\/Microbiology fields are highly desired. This position
\nrequires strong analytic, organizational, written, and verbal
\ncommunications skills. The candidate must be an innovator and self-starter,
\nand work equally well in interdisciplinary teams and independently.<\/p>\n
