Positions at UCLA Human Genetics
- DataMiner/Biostatistician/Statistician/DataAnalyst
-
Several full time and Postdoc positions are available in the Array Data Analysis Group (http://www.genetics.ucla.edu/horvathlab/adag.htm) at the University of California, Los Angeles. The Array Data Analysis group specializes in the analysis of genomic data (DNA microarrays, metabolic network data, proteomics, tissue microarrays, sequence data) the development and implementation of relevant data analysis methods, the writing and reporting of data analysis reports. Preferred general statistical software packages are R (S-Plus) and SAS.
Training will be provided. Methodological research opportunities available. Candidates should have a relevant PhD (biostatistics, statistics, bioinformatics, machine learning) or a Master's level degree with several years of relevant experience. The competitive salary will be commensurate with experience.
Keywords about the work: data mining, prediction methods, clustering methods, supervised and unsupervised learning, machine learning, regression models (Cox model, generalized linear regression).
Please e-mail a resume, bibliography, a brief description of your experience, names of 2 references, and possibly university transcripts to Steve Horvath (http://www.ph.ucla.edu/biostat/people/horvath.htm).

- Postdoc Position in Molecular Genetics and Neuroscience
- One postdoc position is immediately available in Dr. Guoping Fan's lab at the Department of Human Genetics, UCLA School of Medicine, USA. We are using the Cre/loxP system to generate conditional knockouts and transgenic mice to study the role of DNA methylation in neural development and neurological disorders (More detailed description can be read at our lab website http://www.genetics.ucla.edu/labs/fan/). Skills in molecular cloning, tissue cultures, mice breeding, and experimental pathology are desirable. For consideration, please email or send your curriculum vitae, names and addresses of three references to:

- Postdoctoral position in cardiovascular genetics, posted May 29, 2009
-
A postdoctoral fellow position is immediately available in Dr. Päivi Pajukanta's research group in the Department of Human Genetics, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Dr. Pajukanta's research group investigates the genetic background of complex cardiovascular traits in human. In our recent studies, we have identified genes for familial combined hyperlipidemia, low HDL-C cholesterol, high serum triglycerides and obesity. An overview of the research topics can be found at http://www.genetics.ucla.edu/labs/pajukanta/.
We are looking for a candidate with a recent PhD, who has training in human genetics. Experience in methods of molecular genetics and data analysis of sequence, expression array and large scale genotyping is desirable.
Applicants should email a curriculum vitae and three reference letters to:
