What We Do
Our lab works on problems in the fields of computational biology and bioinformatics. We have studied a wide variety of topics in cancer genomics, gene regulation, and molecular evolution, with particular focuses in post-transcriptional regulation and tumor evolution.

Openings
Our lab is always open to new students and postdocs excited to work on computational biology problems here at the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine. We are a computational biology lab specializing in cancer genomics, post-transcriptional regulation and molecular evolution. Our lab works closely with a number of experimental labs to analyze and interpret high-throughput functional genomic data from human and mouse model systems.
At the post-doctoral level, well-suited candidates should have Ph.D. experience in computational biology, applied math, physics, computer science, or a similar quantitative discipline. Outstanding applicants new to computational biology will also be considered. Strong computing (programming, large scale data analysis, statistical inference, etc), publication, and communication skills are essential. At the graduate student level, a variety of backgrounds can fit, but enthusiasm and aptitude for computational biology are what define the lab.
Hirees will be joining the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine, a research institute dedicated to improving human health through genomic approaches. We moved into our newly constructed building and lab space in October 2014. The institute is in Farmington, CT adjacent to the University of Connecticut Medical School and in the Hartford metropolitan area. This institute is part of a $1.1 billion new venture between the Jackson Laboratory (based in Bar Harbor, ME), which is one of the world's leaders in mouse genetics, and the state of Connecticut. JAX Genomic Medicine is building an institute of 30 scientific research groups in the next few years, one third of which are expected to be in computational biology. New hirees will have the opportunity to join one of the first computational biology labs in the institute. Hartford is a lively metropolitan area of over one million people and is within a two hour drive of both Boston and New York City.
Interested applicants should send a CV and a research statement to Jeffrey Chuang at jeff.chuang@jax.org. Reference letters will be requested subsequently.
