Postdoctoral Research Opportunity in Epigenomics at Columbia University in New York City (computational)

Columbia University Medical Center is one of the world's foremost centers for patient care and health science education. It is also one of the world’s leading biomedical research organizations, and provides a unique environment to support breakthrough discoveries in this fundamental area of biology.

The Haghighi laboratory is studying the epigenetic profiles of human brain development and its emerging role in gene regulation, as well as its fundamental importance for our understanding of normal and pathological neuronal function.

A postdoctoral position is immediately available for those candidates with a Ph.D. in computational biology and/or bioinformatics who are interested in genetic and epigenetic research. The research group is highly multi-disciplinary, and the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work side-by-side with both experimental and computational biologists. The candidate must have experience in programming and high-throughput analysis of biological data, as the position involves integration of large-scale data sets, design and implementation of data processing pipelines, and analyses of genomic and epigenomic data.

Volunteer Assistant Editor for Non-Genetic Inheritance Journal

The newly formed scientific journal Non-Genetic Inheritance needs volunteers to be assistant editors.

This position involves working with an international team to collate email addresses of researchers working within the field in order to advertise the journal. The ideal candidate is a PhD student or early stage post-doc. While the position is unpaid, assistant editors will gain experience in publishing and be credited on the website. The initial database collation is expected to require approximately 3 hours a week (Jan/Feb 2012) after which the workload will reduce to 1-2 hours per week.
