Chen Laboratory
A postdoc position is available immediately in Chen Lab at The Methodist Hospital Research Institute, which is located in Houston,Texas, and is academically affiliated with Weill Cornell Medical College, Cornell University.
Strong candidate for this position can be a biologist with either wet-bench or bioinformatics background:
(1) A postdoc with molecular, cellular, and animal research experiences. We expect this postdoc to have research background with stem cell differentiation, cancer, and sequencing technologies. Bioinformatics knowledge or experience can be a plus. In addition to typical biomedical research experiments, this person will conduct research based on single-cell technologies including single-cell ChIP-Seq, single-cell RNA-Seq, or single-cell genome-Seq. There will be extensive collaborations with the several bioinformatics postdocs in the same lab. Meanwhile, the working environment is a large laboratory containing 16 wet benches and 5 research groups, which all belong to the same Center for Regenerative Medicine.
(2) A postdoc interested in developing statistical methods and computational algorithms to interpret next-generation sequencing data; This person will combine epigenomics, transcriptome, and other types of sequencing data to study gene regulation network, with particular interest in (a) stem cell differentiation and induced nuclear reprograming, and (b) Cancer system biology. Successful candidate will have many opportunities to collaborate with fantastic wet-bench biologists and physician scientists in translational biomedical research.
Salary and benefits can be highly competitive and commensurate with experience. The Methodist Hospital is frequently ranked as one of the best companies to work for by the FORTUNE Magazine, and is ranked as #1 best hospital in Texas by U.S. News. We are located in Houston at the center of the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the word. Texas is ranked as the #1 state to make a living in 2015 by Forbes, and Houston is named as the the most prosperous city by The Business Journals.
Please send (1) your CV, (2) a cover letter or half-page research statement, and (3) information for two or more references to
