Maintain lab equipment, reagents, and follow safety protocols
Perform data curation and maintain documentation
Generate reproducible analysis and properly use statistics to support observations
Collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of researchers who perform bench and computational experiments
The Beck lab uses and develops genomic and transcriptomic techniques to identify variation within repetitive and complex regions of mammalian genomes.
As a postdoctoral fellow in the Beck lab, you would lead projects examining the mechanisms and consequences of structural variants across human and mammalian organisms.

Excellent communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively
Based on years of experience as Postdoc
Fluency with multiple experimental techniques coupled with ability or a willingness to learn Python or R and common bioinformatics tools is required to carry out analyses and prepare results for publication.
Experience with cell culture, and in particular iPSCs, will be beneficial for these projects.
PhD in Physiology, Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biomedical Engineering, or a related field
Strong publication record in peer-reviewed journals
Experience using statistical inference to support results

Experience with iPSC culture and differentiation
Knowledge of structural variation and variant mechanisms
Experience using computational libraries for tabular data and statistical analysis
Experience executing jobs and pipelines in a high-performance computing cluster
Experience working in a Linux command-line environment

Its mission is to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health.
