Stanford University School of Medicine
An exciting opportunity is available to join the newly established laboratory of Stephen Montgomery in the Department of Pathology and Department of Genetics at Stanford University School of Medicine. Dr. Montgomery’s group focuses on understanding the effects of genome variation on cellular phenotypes and cellular modeling of disease. His group uses genomic approaches such as next generation RNA sequencing in combination with developing and utilizing state-of-the-art bioinformatics and statistical genomics approaches.
Current lab research topics include: (1) identification of causal regulatory variation and integration into GWA studies, (2) interpretation of completed genomes, (3) classification of pathological samples using functional genomics approaches and (4) understanding epistatic interactions in mendelian and oligogenic disorders. The candidate will be expected to be self-motivated and play an active and collaborative role in the laboratory and within the department. Ideal candidates will have a background in population genetics and/or computational biology, experience using next generation sequencing data, and competency with R and another programming language (preferably Perl, C, Java or Python). Excellent English written and spoken skills are necessary.
A competitive salary, travel opportunities and an excellent benefits package will be provided commensurate with experience.
