A postdoctoral Research/Visiting Fellowship in Epigenomics is available in Raja Jothi’s laboratory at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH).

Dr. Jothi’s lab is interested in understanding how transcriptional regulators and chromatin modifications control gene expression during cellular development and differentiation, and development and application of genomics and bioinformatics tools to identify tissue specific gene regulatory elements by integrating heterogeneous genome-scale data.

Successful candidates will undertake several exciting new projects in the general areas of Epigenomics/Epigenetics and Functional Genomics with particular emphasis on Human, Mouse, Fly, Yeast, and Malarial genomes. He/She will employ computational approaches to integrate and analyze genome-wide biological datasets, and will work closely with experimental biologists, both within and outside of NIH, who are interested in a variety of

Be Part of Something Great!

The Life Sciences Division has an opportunity for a Computational Biologist Postdoctoral Fellow to participate in projects to characterize the time and dose dependencies of gene-expression response profiles after exposures of mammalian cells and tissues to low-dose ionizing radiation, to identify response pathways, and to identify co-regulatory determinants of susceptibility to genomic damage in irradiated cells.

As a Postdoc, you will:

• Participate in projects to characterize the time and dose dependencies of gene-expression response profiles after exposures of mammalian cells and tissues to low-dose ionizing radiation, to identify response pathways, and to identify co-regulatory determinants of susceptibility to genomic damage in irradiated cells.
• Conduct genomic-scale experiments of gene expression profiles in irradiated cells using gene-transcript microarrays with cells from human 2D or 3D cultures, and mouse tissues.
• Perform molecular validation of mRNA response patterns in irradiated cells.
• Apply and interpret biostatistical tools to identify time- and dose-dependent clusters and characterize their variability among tissue and cell types.
• Apply and interpret bioinformatics analyses of functions and pathways associated with radiation-responsive genes.
• Maintain an accurate and detailed laboratory notebook of all experiments performed
• Provide training and guidance to undergraduate and graduate students.
• Prepare results for publication in scientific journals and presentations at seminars and
  present research data at group meetings, seminars and conferences.

Key Success Factors

• Recent Ph.D. degree in computational biology, biophysics, or related field.
• At least two years of experience in research involving genomic structure, computational genomic analyses, and bioinformatics tools are required.
• Experience in analyzing data from genome-scaling expression technologies (gene-transcript and/or proteomic cellular analyses methods) is required.
• Training and understanding of biostatistics and genomic biology is required.
• Demonstrated ability to work with guidance of principal investigator and collaborators.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct experiments independently, maintain appropriate records and manage data.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Proven ability to organize research results for publication.

Desired Traits

• Experience in various techniques used in molecular biology, immunostaining, RNA and DNA analysis, in mammalian cells.
• Experience in culture of human cells.

Notes

This a one-year term visiting computational postdoctoral appointment with a possibility of renewal contingent upon the availability of funding and satisfactory performance.
