📌 Position: Computational Post-Doctoral Researcher
Come join the Sedlazeck Lab, a dynamic and innovative group at the forefront of genomic research at Baylor College of Medicine. We’re diving deep into the complexity of structural variants and challenging genomic regions to uncover their roles in clinical phenotypes and disease. If you’re passionate about pushing the boundaries of genome analysis and making a real impact on human health, we’d love to work with you!

📍 Location:
Human Genome Sequencing Center, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas

🧪 Research Focus:
Development of novel methods to study complex variants or regions of the genome.
Projects are primarily focused on human samples but may also include non-human species.

Potential topics include:

  • Germline or mosaic detection of structural variants and tandem repeats

  • Studying the impact of SVs on RNA, methylation, and complex phenotypes

  • Population-scale genomics research with medical records

✅ Ideal Candidate Qualifications:

Academic Background:

  • Ph.D. in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field

  • Dissertation related to Computational Biology

Technical Skills:

  • Strong programming and analytical skills

  • Experience with sequencing data analysis

Research Experience:

  • At least two first-author publications in English

  • Strong written communication skills in English
