Postdoctoral associate / research scientist (experimental) at University of Michigan
Dr. Minji Kim (www.minjilab.com) at the University of Michigan is seeking a postdoctoral
researcher to perform high-throughput sequencing experiments probing transcriptome,
epigenome, and 3D genome both at bulk-cell and single-cell levels. Her group studies
the relationship between chromatin organization and gene regulation at various
timescales. To do so, the team combines experimental techniques (Hi-C, ChIA-PET,
RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq) and develops computational methods to analyze the
data.
There will be unique opportunities for the postdoctoral researcher to closely collaborate
with computational biologists within the group to analyze the datasets with innovative
approaches, and to broadly collaborate within the Department of Computational
Medicine and Bioinformatics, Michigan Medicine, and the Michigan Institute for Data
Sciences (MIDAS).
The exact title (postdoctoral associate, research scientist, fellow, etc.) and salary will be
determined based on the candidate’s experiences and qualifications. To apply, e-mail
your CV, contact information of 3 referees, research interests, and long-term career
goals to Minji (minjilab@umich.edu) or submit materials here:
https://careers.umich.edu/job_detail/234139/research-fellow.
Responsibilities
This postdoctoral position will focus on the experimental components of several
projects:
1) identifying allele-specific chromatin interactions in differentiating mouse
embryonic stem cells;
2) dissecting the molecular mechanisms behind the formation of regulatory loops;
3) developing new 3D genome mapping technologies.
Required Qualifications
• Ph.D. in Molecular Biology, Human Genetics, Biochemistry, Biological Sciences,
Bioengineering, or related field
• Extensive experiences performing high-throughput sequencing technologies
and/or fundamental molecular biology techniques
Desired Qualifications
Experiences with microfluidic devices
