  • Postdoc in Bioinformatics / Integrative Omics @ Harvard Med

    Postdoctoral Position in Bioinformatics
    Channing Division of Network Medicine
    Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School

    The Channing Division of Network Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School are seeking applicants for a postdoctoral position in bioinformatics. The position will focus on the analysis of microRNA-Seq data from a Latin American cohort of childhood asthmatics, with additional integrative omic investigations including the analysis of whole-genome sequencing data and mRNA transcriptomic profiling. The work will be primarily supervised by Assistant Professor Michael McGeachie, but it will also include interacting with a highly-interdisciplinary team of researchers from both the Channing and elsewhere in the Longwood Medical Area.

    Applicants should have a Ph.D. or Sc.D. with a strong analytic background in genomics, bioinformatics, statistics, or related field. Programming proficiency in some language is required (e.g. Java, C, C++, Python, MATLAB or R). Previous experience with analyzing genome-wide data and/or next generation sequencing data is desired. Scientific publications in a peer-reviewed journal are necessary. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential.

    We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

    To apply, please supply a cover letter describing current research interests and specifically addressing your interest in the work of the Channing and how your background may uniquely prepare you for this position. Applications should also include a CV including contact information for three references. The start date for the position is flexible and can begin as soon as May 1, 2018. Possibilities for further advancement within the division exist.

    Please send applications and address questions to the Chair Search Committee:

    Michael McGeachie, Ph.D.
    Assistant Professor of Medicine
    Channing Division of Network Medicine
    181 Longwood Avenue,
    Boston MA 02115

    Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
    by seqadmin


    Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...

    Strategies for Sequencing Challenging Samples
    by seqadmin


    Despite advancements in sequencing platforms and related sample preparation technologies, certain sample types continue to present significant challenges that can compromise sequencing results. Pedro Echave, Senior Manager of the Global Business Segment at Revvity, explained that the success of a sequencing experiment ultimately depends on the amount and integrity of the nucleic acid template (RNA or DNA) obtained from a sample. “The better the quality of the nucleic acid isolated...
