Summary:
The Koren lab at the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center uses genomic and computational approaches to study DNA replication timing and mutagenesis. The lab focuses on human populations and on various types of cancer. We develop methods for inferring DNA replication dynamics from whole genome sequence data, analyze the inter-relations between replication timing and epigenomic regulation, and understand the factors that affect mutation rates and patterns across normal and cancer genomes. Another focus is the study of DNA replication timing in single cells. More information is available at www.thekorenlab.org.

The Bioinformatics Programmer will be involved in one or more of the above analyses, and potentially in other related analyses. He/she will have experience in one or more of the following: human genetics/genomics, cancer genetics/genomics, epigenetics, single cell genomics, genome stability, genotyping and mutation calling and analysis, genome-wide association studies and/or quantitative trait loci mapping, population genetics, or similar disciplines. Expert knowledge in one or more programming environments such as R, Python, Matlab or similar. Previous publications in peer-reviewed journals are required.

The lab offers flexible working schedules, ability to pursue cutting-edge analyses both independently and collaboratively, and a welcoming and supportive environment.
