Positions Available:
We are currently have openings for
- Postdoctoral fellows
- Graduate students (Columbia students only)
- Undergraduate students
- Lab technician
Exceptional candidates are welcome to contact Dana Pe'er for more information about
our research projects. In order to join the lab as a PhD student, you must first gain
admitance to one of the graduate programs at Columbia University.
Please e-mail a brief description of your research interests,
background and CV to Dana Pe'er .
Postdoctoral Positons:
- Experimental yeast genomics:
Position available for an experimental yeast biologist, with extensive bench experience,
preferance given to experience in high througput and genomic techniques. Statistics background and
basic programming also an advantage, but not required. Projects involve generating a diversity
of yeast strains through natural and synthetic means and functional assaying
of gene expression, decision making and fitness. Projects combine data generation and computational
analysis of this data.
- Genomic Cancer Biology:
Position available for researcher (PhD or MD) with extensive knowledge and background in cancer
biology. Computational and programming background is an advantage but not required. Projects
involve using tools developed in the lab (and possibly development of novel tools) to analyze
genomic cancer data pairing genotype (e.g. chromosomal and copy number aberrations) with
functional data (e.g. gene expression) in tumor samples to identify aberations strongly
associated with tumorigenesis, learning how these alter cell signal processing and
arm a cell with the abilities to proliferate abnormally.
- Computational Biology and Machine Learning:
Positions available for experienced computational biologists, strong preference
for solid background in machine learning. Exceptional candidates with strong background
in machine learning or theoretical physics, but no prior biological experience, who wish to
seriously transition to computational and systems biology will be considered. Diverse projects
described in research directions are available.
