美国波士顿学院微生物学、计算机科学、生物信息学博士后职位

The Meyer lab focuses on computational identification using comparative genomic approaches, and subsequent experimental validation of novel ncRNA regulators in bacterial systems. The lab is equipped with state‐of-the-­art technology for both computational analysis of ncRNA, and experimental characterization.

The post-­‐doctoral scholar will largely perform computational analysis, but some experiments may be conducted as part of the larger study.

Requirements

• Ability to conduct collaborative research.
• Excellent English communication skills both in written and oral form.
• A PhD in microbiology, computer science, bioinformatics, biochemistry, or related discipline. NB. A strong willingness and ability to learn is considered more important than experience in the topics studied by the lab.
• A track record of publications in peer-­‐reviewed journals.
• Experience with statistical methods, programming languages (e.g. Python, Perl), mathematical modeling, and/or analysis of large-­‐scale sequencing data.

How to apply Please send a cover letter, a letter describing your professional interests and ambitions, a curriculum vitae and contact information for at least two references to Dr. Meyer m.meyer@bc.edu. Applications will be considered until the position is filled.
