  • Two Bioinformatics Postdoc Positions at Yale

    Laboratory of Nenad Sestan, Department of Neurobiology, Yale University, New Haven, CT.

    General Features:
    Sestan lab is seeking two highly motivated and talented Bioinformatics scientist to add to our group to explore our massive human and non-human primate brain datasets. Research in our lab investigates how neurons acquire distinct identities and form precise connections in the developing cerebral cortex, the part of the brain involved in a variety of higher cognitive, emotional, sensory, and motor functions. We also study how these developmental processes have changed during evolution and in human disorders. Currently we have produced immense biological data using high-throughput methods like RNA-Seq, ChIP-Seq, genome re-sequencing, exon-array and DNA-methylation array from post-mortem brain tissues, single cells and iPS cells. Much more data will be produced in near future. We are seeking talented bioinformatics scientists to join our data analysis group to explore this unprecedented data resource, to reveal the mystery of brain development and evolution. More information online: http://medicine.yale.edu/labs/sestan; http://www.brainspan.org.

    Background:
    The successful candidate will join our multidisciplinary research team as a computational researcher. The data analysis entails assessing data quality, discovering biological patterns, answering essential biological questions, visualizing and presenting results.

    Essential Requirements:
    • Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, or related discipline.
    • Strong programming skills (Perl, Python, R; and working on Linux systems).
    • Knowledge and experience in statistics.
    • Independent problem solving skills.
    • Good communication skills, and a strong team-work spirit with self-learning abilities.
    • 2+ years of experience in Bioinformatics data analysis tools and databases.


    Desirable:
    Experience in analyzing RNA-Seq and ChIP-Seq data is essential.
    Research experience related with gene regulation or brain will be a plus.

    To Apply:
    Submit a CV and cover letter stating research interests and contact details of three referees in a single pdf file to [email protected]. Please indicate “[Bioinfo_Postdoc]” in the subject line.

    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...
