Employer:  Dashnow Lab, University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus

Closing date: until filled

Brief position description: The Dashnow Lab in the Department of Biomedical Informatics at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus is seeking a computational Postdoctoral Fellow with a background in human genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, or related fields. Individuals from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

The Dashnow Lab develops computational genomics methods to understand the genetic underpinnings of rare diseases and increase diagnoses. We have particular expertise in difficult-to-genotype repetitive regions. We develop and apply these methods at scale to current and emerging DNA sequencing technologies. Our research directly impacts individuals with rare diseases and their families, giving them answers and hope for treatment after a long diagnostic odyssey. The lab has strong national and international collaborations, including with large rare disease and population consortiums and with industry.

Current project funding supports new approaches for diagnosis and gene discovery for short tandem repeat diseases, computational methods development for both short and long-read sequencing technologies, and population genetics.

The postdoc and PI will jointly envision projects tailored to the fellow’s skillset and long-term career goals. Postdocs will be expected to carry out computational research, analyze data, and disseminate their findings, software, and data to the biomedical community.
