Positions available

If you are an aspiring RNA biologist, genomicist, or computational biologist, we'd be excited to have you! Our lab works on projects that develop, utilize, and integrate a variiety of experimental and computational approaches to answer key questions about how RNA binding proteins control RNA processing in normal conditions, RNA viral infections, and breast cancer.

Students:

If you are an incoming or current Baylor College of Medicine graduate student, please contact me if you would like to discuss potential rotation projects! Eric is currently a member of the CPSB and G&G programs at BCM.

Postdocs:

We are currently looking for postdocs to lead multiple funded projects in the lab (as well as to develop their own ideas!). Candidates should have a PhD in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, biochemistry, or related fields. If you are interested in discussing a potential postdoc positions, please send Eric (Eric.VanNostrand [at] bcm [dot] edu) a CV (including names and contact information for at least 3 references) as well as a brief cover letter describing your broad research interests, what kinds of projects you'd be interested in working on, and your big-picture goals for your postdoc.

Staff positions:

We currently are hiring for two staff positions:

Bioinformatics Analyst II

- See more details and apply here: https://jobs.bcm.edu/job-invite/10743/
We are seeking a talented bioinformatician to aid our studies of how RNA processing is regulated and how these are altered in breast cancer. As part of this work, this position will assist in implementing, running, and validating pipelines for analysis of next-generation sequencing data (RNA-seq, CLIP-seq, and other), as well as assist in implementing existing and new approaches of interpretation of results.

Research Technician II

- See more details and apply here: https://jobs.bcm.edu/job-invite/10684/
We are seeking a talented research technician to aid the studies of how RNA processing is regulated and how these studies are altered in breast cancer. As part of this work, the technician will prepare and perform cell culture, plasmid cloning and genome editing, next-generation sequencing library preparation, and other experiments either individually or as part of an interdisciplinary team.
