The postdoctoral researcher will contribute to this project using
a combination of evolutionary and comparative genomics, as well as a
diverse set of bioinformatic approaches for data analysis and integration
(e.g., transcriptomics, genomics, phenotypic data). This position offers
a unique opportunity to integrate diverse state-of-the-art genomic and
phenotypic datasets across different model organisms to understand the
role of genes, molecular pathways in the origin of complex diseases.

CINV provides a highly collaborative and multidisciplinary environment
using a variety of computational and experimental approaches,
including genetically tractable animal models as well as expertise in
genetics, behavior, glia-neuron communication, metabolism, biophysics,
genomics, bioinformatics, host-microbe communication, and biomolecular
modelling. The new postdoc will be part of one of our labs which focuses
more generally on the intersection between molecular evolution and
disease biology.

Required qualifications are a PhD in evolutionary biology, computational
biology, bioinformatics, or closely related fields. Candidates must have
excellent verbal and written communication skills (working language
is English), as well as an established record of productivity (e.g.,
at least one previous peer-reviewed publication). Candidates with a
past record of publications in bioinfomatics, computational biology,
population genetics or evolutionary genomics are strongly preferred. Ideal
candidates should have experience in analyzing genomic and phenomic
data, performing comparative evolution or population genomic analyses,
as well as in collaborating with experimentalists.

Interested candidates should first contact Evandro Ferrada at
. Please include the following: (1) a cover
letter addressing your interest in the position and how your expertise
meets the position requirements, (2) a CV, (3) contact information of
at least 2 references. A short online interview will follow to discuss
specific proposals. Candidate materials will be reviewed as soon as
possible until the position is filled.

Webinar on 'An integrated RNA and DNA approach to unravel genetic regulation in cancer'

Abstract

Whole exome DNA sequencing (WES) or whole genome DNA sequencing (WGS) allows detection of mutations and polymorphisms in all exonic and genomic regions, respectively, while messenger RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) enables quantitative analysis of gene expression. Mutations in the genome result in diverse transcriptional aberrations that can be missed in a stand-alone WES/WGS analysis. An integration of DNA variant analysis and RNA-Seq analysis enables one to investigate the consequences of genomic changes in the RNA transcripts including germline and somatic changes, imprinting, RNA editing and allele specific expression (ASE). In this webinar, we will demonstrate this integrated approach using Strand NGS to identify high confidence mutations, RNA editing events and ASE in cancer.

About Speaker:

Dr. Veena Hedatale, has a PhD in Plant Genetics from The Radboud University, Netherlands focused on meiosis and recombination. Her prior academic experience at Cornell University was on genetic mapping and gene transformation in Rice. She has worked with Monsanto, and contributed to data mining, database development as well as gene/promoter/pathway discovery for traits related to yield and stress in crop species. At Strand, Veena has worked on Pharmacogenomic analysis of targets and Gene family analysis projects. Currently, she is part of the Strand NGS Application Science team and is involved in the analysis of next generation sequencing data.
