Open Positions

	Postdoctoral Associate In Computational Biology/Bioinformatics
	Postdoctoral Associate In Genomics/Molecular Biology


	Postdoctoral Associate in Computational Biology/Bioinformatics

	Description of Position
	Responsibilities will include interacting with graduate students and post-doctoral fellows to design a wide range of studies, and implementing noveland/or currently available algorithms to analyze expression data sets and develop genetic networks in order to understand the transcriptional regulation of cellular programs in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In addition, the position will require some minimal system administration duties on Windows and Linux machines, including website management.

	This position is for up to three years. Salary will be commensurate with experience and publication record. Appointment decisions will be made in mid to late August, but the position will remain open until filled.

	Degree and Experience Requirements
	Must have a Ph.D. degree in one of the following disciplines: Bioengineering, Bioinformatics, Biochemical Engineering, Computer science, Molecular Biology, or equivalent practical experience. Practical knowledge of public biological databases, microarray technology/data and Matlab are a must. Strong oral and written communication skills, and ability to work with others are a must. Desire and ability to mentor graduate students is desirable. Experience with DNA arrays or genomic tools is a plus. Familiarity with several of the following would be a plus: Java, SQL, Perl, C, C++, Java, Python, Apache, PHP, HTML
	Application and Contact Information
	Interested individuals should send a letter of interest, CV, list of publications,and contact information (title, name, address, phone, FAX and email) for three (3) references to Prof. E. Terry Papoutsakis by email using the subject "Bioinformatics position" at: e-paps@northwestern.edu

	Postdoctoral Associate in Genomics/Molecular Biology

	Description of Position
	Responsibilities will include interacting with graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to develop strategies, design and carry out experiments for genomic analysis (including DNA arrays, ChIP-on-chip, and proteome analysis) to elucidate cellular programs and phenotypes, and develop metabolic engineering strategies to develop new strains in prokaryotes and mostly in clostridia. It also involves assistance in preparation of research grants, and supervision of activities of currently funded grants.

	This position is for up to three years. Salary will be commensurate with experience and publication record. Appointment decisions will be made in late August or early September, but the position will remain open until filled.

	Degree and Experience Requirements
	Must have a Ph.D. degree in one of the following disciplines: Biochemical Engineering, Molecular Biology, Molecular Microbiology, Cell Biology, Genomics, Bioengineering or equivalent practical experience. Strong molecular biology skills (DNA, RNA and protein level analysis), and desire to acquire and develop genomic tools (incl. use of bioinformatic tools) is a must. US citizens or residents interested in academic careers and/or desiring to apply for an individual NIH postdoctoral fellowship will be given special attention. Strong oral and written communication skills, ability to organize material for grant reports and new grant preparation, and ability to work with others are also a must. Desire and ability to mentor graduate students is desirable. Experience with DNA arrays or genomic tools is a plus.
