| ==Postdoctoral Fellow or Research Associate (Noncoding RNAs, Epigenetics, Stem Cells)==
| |
| '''Description:'''<br>
| |
| We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow or a Research Associate to use and develop genome-wide methods for identifying novel long noncoding RNAs. Our lab is interested in understanding the role of noncoding RNA in cell fate specification during stem cell differentiation in mouse systems.
| |
|
| |
|
| The ideal candidate will have
| |
| * Good knowledge of molecular biology techniques (nucleic acid manipulation methods and experience working with RNAs),
| |
| * Experience with tissue culture and immuno-histochemistry,
| |
| * Experience working with mice (desirable)
| |
|
| |
| The successful candidate will enjoy access to cutting-edge technologies such as Solexa and SOLID sequencers, well-funded and intellectually stimulating environment of OICR's genomic platform, opportunity to drive projects and publish in scientific journals and attend scientific meetings.
| |
|
| |
| '''Qualifications:''' Ph.D.in a molecular biology or related field
| |
|
| |
| '''Application details:'''
| |
| Send CV and a half page description of the type of research questions you are interested in and your career goals to nizar.batada "at" oicr.on.ca. Two references will be requested from short-listed applicants.

| |
| ==Graduate Students (Bioinformatics)==
| |
|
| |
| We have an opening for a Graduate student interested in Bioinformatics/Computational Epigenetics applied to Stem Cell and Cancer Biology.
| |
|
| |
| Questions of interest include the following:
| |
| * Identify the epigenomic/network basis of stem cell pluripotency and self renewal (transcriptional networks of pluripotent transcription factors such as Sox2, Nanog, Oct4, Polycomb and Trithorax proteins)
| |
| * Evolutionary analysis of human and mouse epigenomes
| |
| * Identify epigenetically labile and aberrantly methylated genes in cancer
| |
| * Relate epigenetic modification patterns to gene expression (i.e. decipher the "histone code")
| |
| * Identification and function of regulatory long noncoding RNAs in silencing.
| |
|
| |
| Other project are possible if proposals involving statistical or algorithmic development to analyze genomics data on DNA methylation, gene expression, chromatin modification.
| |

| =Undergraduates=
| |
| * 3rd or 4th year Undergraduates from a Canadian University who are interested in doing summer research (either wetlab or bioinformatics) are encouraged to email me.
| |
| * I am particularly interested in undergraduates in Mathematics, Computer Science or Physics who are interested in mathematical modeling or Bioinformatics
