Join the Lichtarge Computational Biology Lab
Collaborators
We welcome collaboration with wet labs and other bioinformatics labs.
Please contact Olivier Lichtarge for information and co-ordination.
Ph.D. Students
Prospective Ph.D. students can join the lab after admittance to Baylor
College of Medicine's
Structural and Computational Biology and Molecular Biophysics program,
the
Department of Molecular and Human Genetics, the
Program in Developmental Biology, the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, or the Program in Cell and Molcular Biology, and after completing an initial
lab rotation. Initial contact should be made through the graduate program
of choice as outlined on the relevant website.
Postdoctoral Positions
Applications for a bioinformatics post-doctoral position in the
Department of Molecular and Human Genetics at Baylor College of
Medicine are welcome. The research would be in the areas of
computational biology and comparative genomics with special emphasis
on the evolution of protein-ligand interfaces and on the
identification of motifs in genomic DNA. An exact choice of topic
would depend on the interests of the applicant. The appointment is for
two years initially, and may be extended further.
Applicants with backgrounds in bioinformatics, computer science, physics, statistics, or biology would be well-suited. Skills in problem solving and in programming are necessary (Unix/Linux, C, C++, perl, HTML/java), and experience with databases is desirable.
All formal postdoctoral applications require a CV and 3 letters of references. It must be sent by regular mail to:
