Are you ready to translate your bioinformatics expertise into actual clinical practice? To deploy it in service of actual patient care? If so, this exciting opportunity could be for you.
We are currently seeking a Bioinformatics Post-Doctoral Fellow for our Center for Bioinformatics & Computational Biology within the Center for Molecular Medicine. This is a full-time position located at Evanston Hospital in Evanston, IL and is benefits eligible. Initial term is for two years - extendable to a third year or into a professional staff position.
We have major initiatives in cancer genomics, pharmacogenomics and medical genetics with the goal of bringing new genomics technologies as close as possible to clinical care. We are looking for candidates with expertise in bioinformatics analysis and a passion to translate dry science into impactful clinical practice.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The Center for Bioinformatics has three broad roles and you are expected to be involved in all three.
You will interact with biologists, clinicians, informaticians and statisticians. Some of the pipelines you build will be used in a clinical environment and you will be able to see the impact on patient care. This is an opportunity to work in a cutting edge research environment, to develop novel methodologies, to tame this fast evolving technology and to deploy it in clinical care.
Specifically, you will:
