St. David’s Medical Center
Austin, TX

SDMC POSITION TITLE: Postdoctoral Researcher

JOB TITLE: Research Scientist
POSITION SUMMARY: The Center for Computational Neuroscience at NeuroTexas Institute at St. David’s HealthCare seeks a highly motivated individual who is interested in the genetics and genomics of glioblastoma multiformae (GBM). Of particular interest, is the development of evolutionary-genetic models suitable for studying the dynamics of mutations within growing GBM tumors and related bioinformatic approaches for model validation using DNA/RNA sequence data from GBM tumors.
NeuroTexas Institute is a highly multidisciplinary clinical, research and educational institute affiliated with St. David’s HealthCare in Austin, TX. The Institute enjoys an open and highly productive relationship with the adjacent University of Texas at Austin. This particular research is part of an ongoing collaboration with Claus Wilke at UT – Austin. There may be opportunities for conducting novel DNA/RNA sequencing studies in collaboration with UT-Austin.
The two-year position is available beginning January 1, 2012. Candidates must have completed their PhDs in computational biology, computer science, mathematics or physics. Ideal candidates will be familiar with evolutionary theory and modeling, DNA/RNA sequence analysis and bioinformatics, and systems biological approaches. Previous knowledge and experience with cancer genomics and modeling is an additional plus.
EDUCATION:
Ph.D. in Mathematics, Physics, Biostatistics, Computational biology, or related discipline

EXPERIENCE:
Required:
One year related research experience
