Position Summary

A postdoctoral position is open immediately in the laboratory of Dr. Li Ding at WashU School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. We are looking for a highly motivated computational biologist to join our interdisciplinary team of research biologists, medical doctors, engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists studying cancer and other human diseases. We are at the forefront of developing computational tools to solve previously unattainable problems through creative use of big data in the biomedical and clinical research. Combining bioinformatics and experimental approaches to advance precision medicine, we have made important contributions to a number of large-scale cancer genome studies, including TCGA, ICGC, CPTAC, PDXNet, and HTAN.We have also created various cancer and other disease models that are valuable in studying the etiology and treatment for these devastating diseases. We combine in vivo, ex vivo, and in vitro methods to study the pathogenic mechanisms in a multi-disciplinary manner. Ongoing projects in our laboratories involve cancer proteogenomics, molecular circuitry regulating tumorigenesis, pathogenesis of human diseases, and functional genomic studies based on new discoveries from next generation sequencing. The successful candidate will participate and lead research projects using computational biology approaches to address questio...
