JOB DESCRIPTION
A postdoctoral position is immediately available in Dr. Sushmita Roy's research group in computational network biology and regulatory genomics at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery (WID), University of Wisconsin, Madison. The Roy group is a computational biology group interested in developing statistical machine learning approaches to study the structure, function and evolution of regulatory networks in mammalian and yeast systems. We are interested in developing network reconstruction, analysis and comparison methods to integrate high-throughput transcriptomic and epigenomic datasets and build predictive models of system state in yeast and mammalian species.
DESIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE
A PhD in a quantitative field (e.g. computer science, statistics, physics, engineering) with research experience in computational biology, or bioinformatics. The candidate should have an established record of publishing papers in interdisciplinary conferences and/or journals in computational biology.
