Using both experimental and computational approaches, our laboratory aims to deconstruct the mechanistic basis for control of gene expression in developmental and pathological contexts at the level of single genes to entire genomes. We are interested in multiple aspects of gene expression control, including transcriptional, translational and post-translational control mechanisms with a particular focus on nerve disorders, liver disease and cancer.
The successful candidate will be actively working in specific projects with single-cell and bulk transcriptomics and epigenomics.
The applicant must have master’s degree in bioinformatics, Computational Biology or a related discipline. The candidate must have proficiency working with existing bioinformatic tools and developing new algorithms and excellent bioinformatic and programming skills (e.g. Python, R).
Interested applicants can send a short description of research interest, a curriculum vitae and letters of reference to Dr. Ashwin Woodhoo (ashwin.woodhoo@usc.es)
