Position Summary:

The Jin Lab in the Department of Genetics at Washington University School of
Medicine is looking for an energetic and motivated individual to work as a
Postdoctoral Associate within a highly dynamic research team of scientists,
computational biologists, experimentalists, and clinicians.

The Jin Lab works at the intersection of genomics, human genetics,
pediatrics, and neuroscience. We are curious about many things and are
enthusiastic about what we do. We are currently focusing on the formulation,
development, and application of genetic, genomics, and bioinformatics methods
to better analyze and integrate genome and exome sequencing, SNP array,
RNA-sequencing, epigenomic, metabolomics, and proteomics data. Through the
integration of diverse types of transcriptomic and epigenetic functional
annotations, the integrative genomic analysis will provide a better
understanding of the molecular basis of cardiovascular diseases,
neurodevelopmental disorders, and neurodegenerative disorders, with a
specific focus on the interplay between rare protein-coding and
common-noncoding variants. We collaborate with clinicians, multiple genetic
consortia, the Undiagnosed Disease Network, and the Yale Center for Mendelian
Genomics to assemble thoroughly phenotyped cohorts for gene discovery and set
up a robust recruitment platform that includes domestic and international
collaboration and social media. Following integrative genomic analyses, we
use zebrafish to precisely model human mutations. We also collaborate with
experimentalists to design scalable high-throughput assays to model the
effects of disease-associated mutations using a model organism and/or
cell-based experiments to identify genes/pathways that affect disease
susceptibilities.

1. The ideal applicant will hold a Ph.D. or MD/Ph.D., have prior research
experience in molecular biology, computational biology, genomics, biomedical
engineering, or related field.

2. We train postdocs with a biology background who would like to develop
bioinformatics skills.

最近蠻多人提問百大獎學金的,我有錄取北美學校的並拿到百大獎學金,來貼心得。 這個獎學金好處是沒有返國服務綁約樣子。 獎學金執行是教育部每年問學校用了多少錢在這學生,教育部代表處再匯款一半給學校,所 以有沒有獎學金錢領到的錢都是一樣的,只是其中一半來源不一樣,扣稅也會比較少。 但對教授有差,對他們來說是學 ...

各位前輩好 餓死抬頭 小弟目前資工系大三 預計申請明年大四上交換一學期 目的主要是為了未來在美國讀碩並就業 但因家庭經濟狀況可能無法負擔讀碩學費 若真的要出國讀碩勢必要貸款不小的金額 因此想先藉交換這個成本較小的機會 一來體驗在美國讀書與生活的感覺 當作是否要讀碩的參考 如果發現不喜歡還來得及 二來如果真的決 ...

安安各位,先祝大家聖誕快樂XD 當初受惠於很多前人的經驗,想說我也來寫一篇好了,文筆排版不佳的話請大家見諒。寫 這一篇的主軸大概會是 “阿~要是當初有人這樣跟我說的話該有多好,我就不需要走這麼 多冤枉路了” 主要的篇幅會擺在找正職andamp;andamp;實習,選校的話就稍微提一點吧。 先來談談選校跟選p ...
