1. (Senior) Bioinformatics Specialist

We are seeking an enthusiastic bioinformatics specialist for our new Bioinformatics Core Facility at UMDNJ - New Jersey Medical School (http://njms.umdnj.edu). The successful candidate will have a key role in initiating and executing collaborative projects with investigators in a range of research fields.

Qualified applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in bioinformatics/computational biology or a related field, with working knowledge of genome informatics and DNA microarray data analysis. Experience with next-generation sequencing data is a strong advantage. Title and rank will be commensurate with experience.

Interested individuals should contact Dr. Bin Tian by e-mail (btian@umdnj.edu) with a CV including a summary of previous research and contact information of 2-3 referees.

New Jersey Medical School is a dynamic scientific community, part of UMDNJ, with research excellence in several basic and clinical areas. It is located in Newark, New Jersey, in close proximity to New York City. Many scientific and educational opportunities are available in the NY/NJ metropolitan area, as well as cultural, entertainment and sports activities.

2. Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology/Cardiovascular Research

We are seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to study gene regulatory programs of the cardiac system using computational approaches. The successful candidate will collaborate with wet bench scientists to elucidate gene regulatory mechanisms in several cardiac disease and aging models that are being intensively studied at the CardioVascular Research Institute (CVRI) of UMDNJ-New Jersey Medical School, a dynamic scientific community.

Qualified applicants should have a Ph.D. degree in bioinformatics/computational biology or a related field, with working knowledge of genome informatics and DNA microarray data analysis. Experience with next-generation sequencing data is a strong advantage.
