Opis:

Computational Modelling Postdocs

Laboratory of Functional and Structural Genomics is searching for 2 postdoctoral researchers to join the “iCell: information processing in living organisms. The role of three-dimensional structure and multi-scale properties in controlling the biological processes in a cell” Project

 

Entity: Centre of New Technologies, University of Warsaw
City: Warsaw
WWW: https://cent.uw.edu.pl and http://nucleus3d.cent.uw.edu.pl
Requirements:
We are looking for researchers who will perform data-driven computational modelling using 3D genomics techniques (chromatin conformation capture) as input. You will be investigating the role of 3D chromatin structure in storing, processing and evolving biological information; Spatiotemporal 4D genome organization and transcription regulation in human population.
Successful candidates will:
1. PhD in computer science, biophysics, biochemistry, bioinformatics or related discipline
2. Documented experience with genomics data
3. Preferred experience in population genomics, DNA sequencing data, epigenomics, RNAseq, ATAC-seq data analysis
4. Priority will be given to candidates with expertise relevant to the iCell project and in agreement with the general profile of the laboratory. Preliminary work done by applicant in the context of 3DGenomics will be treated as the strong asset.
5. Essential requirements cover the ability to work in collaboration with others, within a large research team, performing several parallel scientific tasks, independent thinking and finally the ability to deliver publishable results.
6. Needed the highly motivated individuals willing to work in an interdisciplinary environment under stress and with strict deadlines.
Job Duties:
We are looking for a PostDoc to implement research plans related to the prediction and analysis of protein-protein and protein-DNA / RNA interaction networks in the context of functional interpretation of structural data from the human genome.
Responsibilities will include:
1. Three-dimensional computational modeling using ChIA-PET, Hi-C and HiChIP experimental data
2. Statistical analysis of epigenomic data, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, RNAseq experimental data
3. Analyzing the simulations results, formulating biophysical hyphothesis
4. Publications preparation
Type of NCN grant and Pannell: Opus Grant ST
