Postdoctoral opportunity in Bioinformatics of Brain Disorders

Position: Post-doctoral Position

Deadline: 31 December 2024

Employment Start Date: 7 January 2025

Contract Length: 3 or more years

City: Tampa

Country: United States

Institution: University of South Florida, USF Health Byrd Alzheimer’s Institute

Department: Molecular Medicine

Description:

An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available immediately for a highly motivated individual to participate in projects focusing on Alzheimer’s disease, traumatic brain injury, stroke, and aging. The successful candidate will collaborate with a team of molecular biologists to apply transcriptomic and proteomic strategies to investigate cellular and molecular mechanisms in brain disorders. We seek candidates with interdisciplinary training, experience in omics approaches, and a strong publication record. The ideal candidate will have demonstrated expertise in the latest computational pipelines and programming languages to process and analyze high-throughput raw data from RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq, Hi-C, single-cell transcriptomics, or other related techniques.

Ambitious scientists who join our team will have the opportunity to work in a dynamic environment and train with experienced molecular, cellular, and translational neuroscientists investigating various aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, and age-associated neurological dysfunction.

Tampa, a city on Tampa Bay along Florida’s Gulf Coast, is a wonderful place to live and work.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. or MD. in a related field and a strong bioinformatics and molecular biology background. Only candidates with demonstrated experience—by way of at least one publication—in genomics/proteomics/ bioinformatic investigation will be considered. Researchers with substantial postdoctoral experience will be recommended for an appropriate level of appointment.
