加州大学洛杉矶分校招收生物信息学博士后

Postdoctoral Fellow (Bioinformatics-focused)

This position is open immediately in the Lo Laboratory, which is focused on melanoma research in the following thematic areas:

• Discovering somatically mutated genes in melanoma using exon capture and next-generation sequencing and studying these genes in the pathogenesis of melanoma.
• Understand the mechanisms of primary and acquired resistance to targeted therapies (including B-RAFinhibitors) using integrated genomic technologies.

We are affiliated with the Department of Medicine/Division of Dermatology, Department of Molecular and Medical Pharmacology, and the Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center (Tumor Cell Biology Program) at the University of California, Los Angeles.

The ideal candidates must have experience withRNAexpression profiles (GO,GSEA, etc.), genomicDNAcopy number variation data, and tools of handling large data sets (miRNA, gDNA methylation,RNA-Seq, etc.). Experience with analysis of highly parallel sequencing data is a major plus. Fluency in English and strong written and oral communication skills are pre-requisites; US permanent residency or citizenship is not required. Interested individuals should have at least one first-authored publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Please forward a CV along with three letters of recommendation, one of which from the doctoral thesis advisor, torlo@mednet.ucla.edu.
