A Postdoctoral Associate position is available in the lab of Dr. Tao Wu in the Department of Molecular & Human Genetics at Baylor College of Medicine (https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs/tao-wu). The Wu lab focuses on the epigenetic mechanisms of cancer therapeutic resistance; in particular, the functional mechanisms of novel DNA methylation (6mA). We seek to decipher the epigenetic driver mechanisms underlying cancer treatment resistance, to define new biomarkers, and to develop new approaches to overcome the therapeutic resistance of cancer. We apply multiple wet lab techniques, as well as dry lab genomic profiling and bioinformatics approaches in cancer models.

We are seeking a Postdoctoral Associate whose research will focus on bioinformatics.  This position will require developing analytical approaches to solve computational scripts and analytical code, genomic data analysis of sequencing data sets, and generating statistical figures.  Experience in genomic profiling data analysis, cancer epigenetics, and/or bioinformatics analysis preferred.  Please apply at https://chk.tbe.taleo.net/chk01/ats/careers/requisition.jsp?org=BCM&cws=42&rid=18295

Ideal candidates should be able to creatively conceive the study, critically design experiments and insightfully analyze genomic data. Applicants should be self-motivated, open-minded, detail-oriented and collaborative. Expertise in one (or more) of the following research areas is required: molecular and cell biology, genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, and systems biology studies.

All applicants are encouraged to apply at www.bcm.edu/careers.  Work visa sponsorship available for qualified candidates.
