JOB: Postdoctoral position in ComputationalEpigenomicsof Aging and Cancer

An opportunity has arisen to join the Computational Systems Epigenomics lab, led by Professor Andrew Teschendorff, based at the Shanghai Institute of Nutrition and Health, which is part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Our lab has an interest in elucidating the role of epigenetic changes, notably DNA methylation alterations, in aging and cancer predisposition. The specific role of the postdoc position may include (1) to develop novel computational strategies for cell-type deconvolution of DNA methylation data, (2) develop novel computational strategies for cancer risk prediction from multi-modal single-cell omic data, and (3) develop novel computational strategies for building cell-type specific epigenetic and transcriptomic clocks. Our lab has pioneered many of the existing methods, in 2023 receiving a prestigious Clarivate Highly Cited Researcher Award. We collaborate extensively with leading research groups in the US, China and Europe. Thus, the job is an excellent opportunity for a recent PhD graduate to publish high impact papers and grow their international academic career and reputation in Computational Biology. More details about our research interests and past publications can be found here: https://aet21.github.io

Job requirements: A PhD in Statistical Omics/Bioinformatics/Computational Biology or closely related computational/mathematical discipline. Excellent programming skills in R/BioC and Python. Proficiency in using linux OS.

The post starts in January 2025 and is initially for 2 years, but can be extended for additional years upon satisfactory performance. Initial annual salaries will be on the scale of ~ RMB 500,000. Job comes with additional benefits, including subsidy for meals and accommodation.

If interested, please send a CV and cover letter to andrew@sinh.ac.cn and aeteschendorff21@outlook.com

Position will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis.

招聘職位：博士后-衰老和癌癥計算表觀遺傳學方向

中國科學院上海營養與健康研究所Andrew Teschendorff研究員領導的計算系統表觀遺傳學實驗室誠招博士后。研究組旨在研究和闡明表觀遺傳變化，特別是DNA甲基化改變在衰老和癌癥易感性中的作用。該博士后職位的具體職責可能包括：(1) 開發用于DNA甲基化數據的細胞類型解卷積的新計算策略，(2) 開發用于從多模態單細胞組學數據預測癌癥風險的新計算策略，(3)開發用于構建細胞類型特異性表觀遺傳學和轉錄組學時鐘的新計算策略。研究組在許多現有方法的開發和發展上起到了先鋒作用，Andrew Teschendorff研究員在2023年獲得了享有盛譽的Clarivate高被引研究人員獎。研究組與美國、中國和歐洲的研究小組有廣泛的合作。因此，這份工作對于最近獲得博士學位的人來說，是發表高影響力論文并在計算生物學領域發展國際學術生涯和建立聲譽的絕佳機會。關于研究組研究領域和過去發表的論文的更多細節可以參閱網站https://aet21.github.io

應聘要求：擁有統計組學/生物信息學/計算生物學或其他密切相關的計算/數學學科的博士學位。在R/BioC和Python方面擁有出色的編程技能。熟練使用Linux操作系統。
