Postdoctoral Position in Bioinformatics and Computational Biology 
Description
Applications
are invited for postdoctoral positions to work on mass spectrometry-based
computational metabolomics/proteomics and the integration and modeling of
-omics data. The successful candidate is expected to identify and formulate new
mathematical problems and to apply applied mathematics, statistics, and machine
learning to designing novel algorithms. This project is an integral part of our
long-term goal to develop predictive models of biological systems based on
heterogeneous types of -omics data.
Qualifications
- Recent
Ph.D. in applied mathematics, statistics, bioinformatics, or related
fields.
- Solid
computer programming skills and quantitative data analysis capabilities.
- Research
experience in bioinformatics or related fields.
- Track
record of publishing scientific results.
- Creative
independence.
- Highly
motivated to work in close collaboration with biologists.
- Very
good communication skills.
The
Department of Bioinformatics & Genomics at the University of North Carolina
at Charlotte is engaged in a multi-year expansion program encompassing two
major sites. In addition to a new $35M state-of-the art bioinformatics building
on the University's main campus, the Department has the leadership role in
bioinformatics for the North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) at Kannapolis. The
NCRC is a $1.5B, 350-acre biotechnology research park that will be home to the
research programs of seven North Carolina research universities and several
health care organizations, as well as a large number of private biotechnology
companies.
The
interested applicants should email a CV, a description of research interest, and
the name and contact information of three references to xiuxia.du [at] uncc.edu.
