【工作內容】Study the roles of epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation, chromatin) in plant development; Study transcription factor network. All base on using Illumina sequencing data.
【起聘日期】immediately available, and has the potential of developing into your PhD project in the next term
【徵才條件】Applicants are expected to have BSc or Master degree in computer science, mathematics, population genetics, bioinformatics, genomics, physics, or statistics. The applicant should be fluent in R and [Perl | Python | C | shell
scripting]. Good knowledge in algorithms, biology and statistics is ideal. Since part of the lab mainly focuses on generating high-throughput sequencing data (BS-Seq, RNA-seq, ChIP-seq, small RNA-Seq DNAseI-Seq and HiC), interest in learning NGS data analysis (or previous experience) is vital. In addition, interests in machine learning and modeling would be a bonus.
【實驗室環境】 The Zhong Lab is part of The State Key Laboratory of Agrobiotechnolgoy, in The School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. It is a NGS sequencing laboratory with a strong research focus on the field of genetics and epigenetics, particularly those related to plant growth and development. The key resource and advantage of the lab is the knowhow and in-house capacity of performing Illumina sequencing.
