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
> highly motivated postdocs to undertake exciting new projects in
> computational and regulatory genomics. We seek applicants with a
> strong background in machine learning, algorithm development,
> statistical methods, and their applications to computational
> biology, gene regulation, epigenomics, and integration of large-
> scale biological datasets.
>
> Our group is part of the MIT Computer Science and Artificial
> Intelligence Lab, and of the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard,
> leading to a truly interdisciplinary environment. We have numerous
> ongoing collaborations with experimental and biological groups, and
> are part of the NIH ENCODE, modENCODE, and Epigenome Roadmap
> collaborative projects where our group plays a leadership role in
> data analysis and integration.

> 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).
