Postdoctoral Associate
Yale Center for Genome Analysis
Yale University, School of Medicine
The Yale Center for Genome Analysis (YCGA) is one of the most prominent genome centers. YCGA utilizes diverse cutting-edge genomic technologies to advance biomedical and life sciences breakthroughs. http://ycga.yale.edu/index.aspx
We seek a postdoctoral associate with cell/molecular biology expertise to assist YCGA in developing novel technology platforms and evaluating the existing platform for offering a new service. This position envisages training opportunities for recent PhDs (not more than two years of postdoctoral experience) to take a future job in a service core facility or technology development centers in academia or pharmaceutical /biotechnology-based companies. The successful candidate will get an opportunity to manage clients, training in project management, opportunity to develop SOPs, impart training to users in technology usage and data interpretation, offer consultation in experimental design and analytical needs, research budgeting, optimize new technology for YCGA use, and development of new technology platforms. The area of current interest in new technology platforms includes proteogenomic, functional characterization of DNA variants using tools such as CRISPR, and spatial genomics. The ideal candidate must also be able to interact with Yale investigators using YCGA, bioinformatics, and HPC staff. It is anticipated that the individual will continue to build on their career and professional development by attending conferences and/or workshops on new technology. As well as participate in career and professional development activities through the Office for Postdoctoral Affairs, https://postdocs.yale.edu/career-development.

Applicants must hold a Ph.D. with strong preference given to candidates with a degree in molecular/genomic biology or a related field. The ideal candidate will have Proficiency in cell biology, Protein extraction/characterization, and protein-based assays. Experience in next-generation sequencing, NGS data analysis, CRISPR technology or single-cell genomics is a plus.
The successful candidate will be highly motivated and have the following attributes:
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
- Ability to work in a team environment.
- Excellent organization skills and ability to multitask and prioritize work
