Position Summary:

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in Pharmacology , Physiology & Neuroscience at New Jersey Medical School.
The Olarerin lab is interested in identifying how certain sequence motifs in RNA regulate gene expression in response to stimuli such as pathogen infection or drug treatment. The Postdoctoral Fellow will help develop and test hypothesis related to this research question using and developing computational and wet lab techniques. This will involve, for example, the integration of multiple large-scale gene expression datasets and sequence data to generate unbiased, novel, and exciting hypotheses about gene expression regulation. We will then test the most fundamental and disease relevant of these hypotheses to discover new gene regulation principles that can provide insight into disease states such as cancer and viral infections.
Among the key duties of this position are the following:

• Designing, conducting and troubleshooting experiments.
• Thorough and accurate record keeping of all experimental methods, procedures and results including reproducible computer code used in data analysis.
• Applying for individual fellowships and providing data for laboratory grant applications.
