The department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Nebraska Lincoln is seeking a highly motivated postdoctoral candidate to conduct large scale data analysis and software development for bioinformatics and omics integration in Dr. Qiuming Yao’s lab.
This specific position in Dr. Yao’s lab is available immediately and will be contracted initially for two years. The computer science department will provide our postdocs with very competitive salaries beyond standard NIH minimum compensation. The postdoctoral scholar is expected to lead the development of novel bioinformatic algorithms and integrate multiple types of high throughput biological omics data from the lab and collaborators. The focused application area will be but not limited to the modeling of microbiome ecology and human genetics. The postdoctoral scholar also has good opportunity to join collaborations with renowned domain scientists. Our lab information is available here: https://cse.unl.edu/~qyao/
Candidates with these desired skills will be given preferential consideration: (1) Possession of PhD degree in Computer Science, Data Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Biostatistics, Mathematics or other related quantitative areas. (2) Experience with scientific software development under Linux and Mac OS environments. (3) Familiarity with common programming and scripting languages such as C/C++, Python, and R. (4) A trackable record of writing scientific papers. (5) Experience with teamwork and group communication. (6) Experience with self-guided learning in a quickly evolving technical environment.
Additional preferred but not required experimental skills are (1) Machine learning (2) Full stack web site technology (3) Biotechnology of sequencing for omics (4) Molecular cell biology and genetics (5) Microbiology and ecology.
Please send such application materials to Dr.Yao: qyao3(at)unl.edu (1) A cover letter (2) A curriculum vitae with a publication list (or google scholar) (3) Two or three reference letters from research faculty members.
