Employment Opportunities
Postdoctoral opportunities
Application and inquiries should be submitted by e-mail to Shamil Sunyaev. (ssunyaev@rics.bwh.harvard.edu)
A postdoctoral position in computational biology, with a focus on proteomics, is available at the Sunyaev lab, Genetics Division, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. The position is funded for five years and is part of a large multidisciplinary effort aimed at the analysis of mammalian organogenesis and development of methods for organ engineering. The research project will be devoted to computational approaches to proteomics of mammalian organ development. It will involve computational identification of proteins and protein modifications from mass spectrometry data and bioinformatic analysis of time series proteomic data during endogenous and in vitro organ development. These analyses will be assisted by accumulated expression data and ongoing experimental studies and will potentially inform the quantitative modeling of mammalian organogenesis. The project will involve a close collaboration with Dr. Steve Gygi, Director of Taplin Mass Spectrometry Facility at Harvard Medical School, and several developmental biology, bioengineering, genomic technology and computational biology groups. Application and inquiries should be submitted by e-mail to Shamil Sunyaev. (ssunyaev@rics.bwh.harvard.edu)
in the laboratory of Dr. David R. Beier, MD, PhD, A position is available to pursue phenotypic screening, positional cloning, developmental analysis and functional characterization of ENU-induced mouse mutations affecting organogenesis and brain development. Molecular biology experience necessary; genetics, neurobiology or developmental biology background preferred; English oral and written ability necessary. Please forward a c.v. and the names of three references to: David R. Beier, M.D., Ph.D.,
A postdoctoral position in human/statistical genetics is available in the lab of Paul de Bakker, Division of Genetics, Brigham & Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School. The research project will be devoted to the analysis of human genetic variation and, specifically, to the characterization of high-throughput resequencing data in disease studies. We are principally interested in the characterization of rare variation from sequence data and how such low-frequency variants can be tested for a role in disease. We are looking for enthusiastic and energetic individuals with prior experience in computational science. Programming skills are a must. Application and inquiries should be submitted by e-mail to Paul de Bakker. (pdebakker@rics.bwh.harvard.edu)
A research position at the postdoctoral level is open in the Division of Genetics, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. We are specifically looking for creative and energetic individuals with computational skills to help us with the analysis of human genetic data. As part of the International HIV Controllers Study, we are conducting genome-wide studies in human populations with demonstrated ability to control viral replication (in the absence of treatment) with the aim to discover genes associated with these remarkable traits. Applicants must have a background in a computational science, be comfortable with statistics, and be proficient with Perl scripting and C/C++/Java programming in a Linux environment. Experience with R or Matlab is a big plus. We emphasize that a background in human genetics is not required, though a keen interest in genomics and medicine is. Because our work involves large number of collaborators, a good balance between independence and team spirit is essential. This position offers a stimulating and multi-disciplinary environment and the opportunity to work with researchers at the Partners AIDS Research Center of Massachusetts General Hospital and the Program in Medical and Population Genetics of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Requirements: Ph.D. in computational biology, physics, statistics, mathematics, computer science, or related area. Interested candidates should send or email their C.V. and at least two letters of recommendation to:
Bioinformatician position availableA bioinformatician position is open in the Division of Genetics, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. We are specifically looking for creative and energetic individuals with exceptional computational skills to help us with the analysis of human genetic data. As part of the International HIV Controllers Study, we are conducting genome-wide studies in human populations with demonstrated ability to control viral replication (in the absence of treatment) with the aim to discover genes associated with these remarkable traits. Applicants must have a background in a computational science (Ph.D. is a plus but certainly not required), be comfortable with statistics, and have at least 3 years of experience with Perl scripting and C/C++/Java programming in a Linux environment.
