2-3 year Postdoctoral Research Scientist position is available. We are looking for a young scholar with experience in data analysis. In the scope of this project, we will uncover how the human genome variation maps to disease. Specifically, we will be looking at whole exome variation of healthy individuals vs. disease-affected patients, as related to Tourette's syndrome and a selection of autoimmune disorders. The position will involve developing new computational algorithms to (1) mine the available scientific databases and literature for experimentally established disease genes, variants, and pathways/networks (2) predict functional effects of individual genetic variants, and (3) probabilistically annotate disease predisposition on the basis of the combinations of individual variant effects. The expected outcome of this effort is a novel computational pipeline for generating hypotheses of variome to disease correlation.
Candidates should have a PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Computer Science (with biology background) or Genetics (with computational background). We strongly encourage applications from recent PhD graduates. Strong programming skills are essential, as well as some familiarity with the major bioinformatics tools and databases. Experience with high performance computing, machine learning, and whole genome data analysis is desired, but not required. Applicants should be fluent in spoken and written English and should be able to communicate ideas and results to colleagues. The ability to integrate into a team is as essential as that to complete a project without constant supervision.

Interested persons should e-mail a cover letter and C.V. to:
