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.
