Postdoctoral Researcher - Bioinformatics
How do changes in genome sequence affect biological function and disease? We cannot assay billions of mutations, but evolution has already tested the impact of changing every base in our genomes. Comparative genomics now offers a key to break this ‘evogenetic code’ by exploring which mutations survived evolution and how they correlate with the rest of the genome and on the biology of the organism. We are looking for a smart, skilled, and highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to lead our exploration of genome evolution by reconstructing ancient genome sequences and modeling mutation patterns and evolutionary constraints. This will have potentially profound implications on understanding human sequence variation (familial and somatic), on understanding protein functions, and on relating genomics to organismal biology. Our postdoc training encourages exposure to multiple projects, and we also have remarkable opportunities in the integrated analysis of cancer genomes. The Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology at Genentech is one of the largest bioinformatics research groups with a remarkable breadth and depth of expertise, a strong team environment, deep links to our research colleagues, and a uniquely strong opportunity to help develop breakthrough new medicines. The Manning lab (http://manninglab.org/) focuses on understanding of biological function and disease through evolutionary genomics analysis. ...
