Washington, United States Howard University Full time

The Genome Evolution and Bioinformatics Laboratory at Howard University is seeking Postdoctoral Associates to join our team for groundbreaking research in genomics.


The field of genomics has seen the development of numerous assays designed to profile the molecular activities of our genome. These vast datasets offer an unprecedented opportunity to delve into the intricate regulatory systems that have evolved within our genome. Our research involves formulating hypotheses rooted in evolutionary theories and rigorously testing them using genomic and phenotypic data. Given that genomic data often harbor substantial noise and bias, we also develop novel computational tools that integrate diverse sources of information to mitigate these limitations. As a member of our research team, you may work on three primary research directions:


1. Developing Deep Learning Models: Predicting the molecular and phenotypic impacts of genetic variants in personal genomes.

2. Investigating Gene Expression Robustness: Studying the robustness of gene expression against genetic and environmental perturbations and its evolutionary aspects.

3. Integrating Genomic and Health Data: Improving precision medicine and addressing health disparities by combining genomic data with electronic health records.


Additionally, you will have the freedom to explore and test your ideas, providing biological insights using computational approaches. Our free and collaborative environment offers a platform for aspiring researchers to contribute to groundbreaking discoveries in genome evolution and bioinformatics.


Ideal Candidates Will Possess:

- Academic backgrounds in biology, bioinformatics, computer science, or statistics.

- Critical thinking skills, a passion for innovation, and the ability to analyze complex problems.

- Proficient communication, teamwork, and leadership qualities.


To Apply:

You MUST submit your CV and a cover letter briefly outlining your research interests to [jinrui.xu@howard.edu](mailto:jinrui.xu@howard.edu). Don't apply only on LinkedIn


We eagerly await passionate and motivated individuals to embark on an exciting journey of discovery and innovation with us.
