Chen Laboratory
A postdoc position is available immediately in Chen Lab at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, which is located in Houston,Texas, and is academically affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University.
Strong candidate for this position can be a PhD with either bioinformatics or wet-bench biology background:
(1) Bioinformatics: A postdoc interested in developing computational algorithms, inventing statistical methods, or combining cutting-edge bioinformatics technologies to make biomedical discovery in the next generation sequencing data. This candidate will combine epigenome, genome, and transcriptome data to to conduct research at a systematic scale, with particular interest in cancer biology or regenerative medicine. Research experiences in biostatistics, machine learning, cancer genomics, epigenomics, or stem cell regenerative medicine will be strongly preferred. Successful candidate will have many opportunities to collaborate with fantastic wet-bench biologists and physician scientists in translational biomedical research.
(2) Wet bench: A postdoc with molecular, cellular, and animal research experiences. We expect this candidate to have research background with stem cell differentiation, cancer, and sequencing technologies. Bioinformatics knowledge or experience can be a plus. In addition to typical biomedical research experiments, this person is expected to conduct research based on single-cell technologies including single-cell ChIP-Seq, single-cell RNA-Seq, or single-cell genome-Seq. There will be extensive collaborations with bioinformatics postdocs in the same lab. Meanwhile, the working environment is a large laboratory containing 32 wet benches and 5 research groups.
Salary and benefits can be highly competitive and commensurate with experience. In its first 1.5 year since July 2015, the lab has helped a postdoc published his co- first authorship paper in Mol Cell and helped another postdoc found a tenure-track faculty position (assistant professor in statistics). The Methodist Hospital is frequently ranked as one of the best companies to work for by the FORTUNE Magazine, and is ranked as #19 best hospital in U.S. and #1 best hospital in Texas by U.S. News. We are located in Houston at the center of the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the word. Texas is ranked as the #1 state to make a living in 2015 by Forbes, and further, Houston is named as the the most prosperous city by The Business Journals.
