Two Post-Doctoral Researchers/Bioinformaticians are wanted

Institute: Henan University

Department: Key Laboratory of Plant Stress Biology

Subject: Bioinformatics/Genomics/Breeding/Biochemistry/Molecular Biology

Group:  Fu-Hao Lu

Position: Two Teacher-type Post-Doctoral Researchers/Junior Researchers

Location: Kaifeng, Henan Province, P. R. China

Posting Date: 29 JUN 2019

 

Overview

The Biology subject in Henan University is under the National ‘Double-first Class’ priority construction discipline. The National Key Laboratory of Cotton Biology / Key Laboratory of Plant Stress Biology are aimed at the stress-related studies in plants. The bioinformatics group in Plant Stress Lab analyses genome/transcriptome -assembly, differential gene expression, epigenomics, gene finding and function verification with the new generation sequencing and bioinformatics tools.

Fu-Hao Lu, listed in Distinguished Professor of Special Telant Zone in Henan University, have been working on the genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic studies of bread wheat, Aegilops tauschii, Arabidopsis, and Brassica napus. He was involved in a series of genome assemblies, such as bread wheat TGACv1 / IWGSC v0.4 genome, Aegilops tauschii genome (Aet_MR1.0 version), bread wheat BAC chromosome 3DL; He also contributed to data mining in the interdisciplinary field of biology and computer science, as well as the construction / programming / utilization of bioinformatics platform. The current studies focus on several aspects as below: 1) crop genomics; 2) gene expression and adaption during polyploidization; 3) Effects of epigenomics on polyploidy. Two teacher-type post-doctoral researchers or junior researchers are needed currently in Professor Lu’s group.

 

Responsibilities

Two positions of post-doctoral researchers are immediately available in the Key Laboratory of Plant Stress Biology in Henan University. This project will address important questions that implicate those differences among three sub-genomes and changes upon plant polyploidization in bread wheat. The goal is to identify and validate some gene expression patterns and the underlying mechanisms. Highly motivated PhDs with strong background in bioinformatics, biochemistry, and / or molecular biology are encouraged to apply.

 

Qualifications/Requirements:

1) PhD expertise in Bioinformatics/Biochemistry/Molecular Biology

2) Experience with the management and analysis of BIG data, or a programming language (like Python, Perl, Ruby, C, C++ or Java), or statistics would be a plus

3) The candidate is expected to contribute towards the design and implementation of researches and to prepare results for publications and for presentations at scientific meetings

4) Candidates who can do full-time jobs; and have at least 2-year availability and at most 4.

5) With good skills of English writing; Would be better if with excellent SCI publications

6) Enthusiasm to researches, ability to work independently and cooperatively

 

Salary

Henan University will support RMB 100K to start your research; Total annual salary should be no less than RMB 220K, including salary as associated professor (RMB 100K), additional salary RMB 120K (60K from Lab, and 60K from Group), as well as annual house compensation at RMB 18K. Competitive salary would be available for those excellent post-doctors. And there are good chances to join in Henan University after the post-doctor period.
