[BioC] Postdoc positions at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research Institute

[Florian Markowetz]

Two postdoctoral positions at the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Research 
Institute (CRI) are available for computational scientists in Dr Florian 
Markowetz's research group.

Computational Cancer Genomics and Genetics (2 positions) - Ref 7988
1. Computational diagnosis of disrupted signaling pathways in tumors
2. Leveraging heterogeneous data sources to identify key drivers of disease

Research
The successful applicants will work on collaborative projects in breast 
cancer genetics and genomics, which aim to identify key drivers of 
disease by integrating genome-wide data from SNP, array CGH, gene 
expression, and microRNA profiling studies.
The successful applicants will develop statistical and machine learning 
methodology to leverage complex biological data sources for biomarker 
discovery, reconstruction of gene networks and diagnosis of disrupted 
signaling pathways in tumors. The projects will be in close 
collaboration with the Ponder and Caldas research groups at the Institute.

Requirements:
A broad background in a quantitative discipline (like Bioinformatics, 
Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Statistics, or Engineering) is 
required. Expertise in Machine Learning and experience with clinical 
data, cancer genomics and cancer-related pathways is highly desirable. 
Applicants should be highly motivated, resourceful, and enthusiastic 
about working in an interdisciplinary environment.

The successful applicants will have the opportunity to work in a young 
and energetic computational biology group in a highly collaborative 
cancer research institute, and to interact with other computational 
biology, machine learning and genomics groups in the Cambridge area.
