[Stein Aerts]

Hi all,

Several very interesting postdoc positions are available at MIT, in  
Manolis Kellis' group.

Best,
Stein Aerts

> The MIT Computational Biology group (compbio.mit.edu) is seeking

> biology, gene regulation, epigenomics, and integration of large- 
> scale biological datasets.

> Our group is part of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial

> Applicants are sought for the following ongoing projects:
>
> (1) Integrative analysis of genomic and epigenomic datasets in the  
> human genome, in the context of the NIH Epigenome Roadmap and ENCODE  
> projects. Goal is to use many chromatin marks in multiple cell types  
> in order to discover and interpret chromatin states, understand  
> their biological roles, and their dynamics in differentiation and  
> disease (NIH RC1-HG005334, NIH U54-HG004570).
>
> (2) Integrative analysis of the Drosophila modENCODE project. Goal  
> is to systematically understand the functional elements encoded in  
> the fly genome, and the regulatory logic defining transcription  
> factor binding and chromatin domains, and guiding developmental  
> programs (NIH RC2-HG005639, NIH U54-HG004555).
>
> (3) Regulatory genomics in human and fly genomes. Goal is to  
> discover regulatory motifs, enhancers, and cis-regulatory modules in  
> the human and fly genomes, and develop predictive models of gene  
> regulation using comparative genomics and large-scale experimental  
> datasets (NIH R01-HG004037).
>
> (4) Role of non-coding RNAs in chromatin. Goal is to understand the  
> role of small and large non-coding RNAs in directing, establishing,  
> and maintaining chromatin modifications in human embryonic stem  
> cells and during differentiation and cancer (Collaborative work with  
> Ron Hart at Rutgers and John Rinn at HMS).
>
> (5) Additional projects are available in comparative genomics,  
> genome interpretation, microRNA regulation, phylogenomics, image  
> analysis, RNA structure, and applicants are welcome to define their  
> own projects within the context of ongoing activities in the group  
> (NSF 0644282, NIH U01-HG004264, NSF 0936234).
