Postdoc fellowship available at NIH

A postdoctoral Research/Visiting Fellowship in Computational Biology / Bioinformatics is
available in Raja Jothi’s laboratory at the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
(NIEHS), National Institutes of Health (NIH). 

Dr. Jothi’s lab is interested in the development and application of genomics and
bioinformatics tools to identify tissue specific gene regulatory elements such as enhancers,
silencers, and insulators by integrating heterogeneous genome-scale data, and elucidating the
dynamics of genes/proteins in protein-protein interaction and gene regulatory networks and
their role in systems behavior.

Successful candidates will undertake several exciting new projects in the general areas of
Computational Biology, Systems Biology, and Gene/Protein Networks with particular emphasis on
Human, Mouse, Fly, and Yeast genomes. He/She will employ computational approaches to integrate
and analyze genome-wide biological datasets, and will work closely with experimental
biologists, both within and outside of NIH, who are interested in a variety of genetic and
genomic studies using gene expression microarrays, and next-generation massively parallel
sequencing technologies such as ChIP-Seq.

QUALIFICATIONS: Candidates should have obtained a PhD degree in Computational Biology,
Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or a related discipline. Programming skills and experience in
the application of computational methods to genomic data are highly desirable. Excellent
communications skills and the ability to work on a variety of projects are essential.

LOCATION: NIEHS main campus in the Research Triangle Park (RTP), North Carolina. The RTP is
the largest research park in US located between Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, and is within
~12 miles from Duke University, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and North Carolina
State University.

SALARY/BENEFITS: Successful candidates will be offered competitive stipend/salary (at least
$53,100 per year) commensurate with number of years of postdoctoral experience and
accomplishments. Benefits package will include health insurance, and travel support for one
meeting each year. A 401K plan with matching contributions will be offered to those hired as
Research Fellows.
