Postdoctoral fellowship in human experimental genomics
University of Pennsylvania, Perelman School of Medicine
Postdoctoral positions are available in Christopher Brown’s lab in the Genetics Department at the University of Pennsylvania. Current research in the Brown lab is focused on understanding the functional consequences of human non-coding sequence variation and understanding the mechanisms through which such variants affect complex phenotypes. We leverage both high-throughput experimental and computational techniques to address these questions. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to design their own projects relating to human functional genomics, gene expression regulation, eQTLs, or post-GWAS fine mapping and functional interpretation. The fellow will also have the opportunity to work as a part of the GTEx consortium and related projects.
Candidates with expertise in experimental or computational biology will be considered, but the ideal candidate will have significant experience in both.
Applicants must have an MD, PhD, or equivalent degree in genetics/genomics, evolutionary biology, bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related discipline. Candidates with backgrounds in statistics, computer science, physics, or other quantitative fields will be considered if they have experience with biological data. Experience with next-generation sequencing techniques and data, ChIP and related functional genomics techniques, and/or scientific programming are desired.
Applications (including CV, statement of research interests, and references) and informal inquiries should be emailed to Christopher Brown (chrbro@upenn.edu). Applications will be considered as they are received; positions are available as early as this summer.
