The Clemson University Center for Human Genetics and the Greenwood Genetic Center have been awarded a five year Phase I Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Human Genetics grant to understand the genetic, genomic, and epigenetic mechanisms by which molecular genetic variation affects transcriptional and other molecular networks in health and disease. The Research Core of the COBRE in Human Genetics is seeking a Bioinformatician to support the bioinformatics research of Research and Pilot Project Leaders and their laboratories. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. degree with a record of productivity and expertise in analysis of data from high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing experiments, population genomics, and related areas. The position requires excellent interpersonal, organizational and communication skills.

The Clemson University Center for Human Genetics and the Greenwood Genetic Center have been awarded a five year Phase I COBRE in Human Genetics grant to understand the genetic, genomic, and epigenetic mechanisms by which molecular genetic variation affects transcriptional and other molecular networks in health and disease. Several positions are available immediately.

• Project 3 (Transposable Elements, Genome Architecture and Gene Regulation) is seeking a Computational Scientist. Contact Dr. Miriam Konkel (mkonkel@clemson.edu) for details.
• Project 4 (Genomic Prediction of Human Disease) is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow. Contact Dr. Fabio Morgante (fabiom@clemson.edu) for details.

Doctoral Degrees offered:

Biochemistry, Biological Sciences, Environmental Toxicology, Genetics, and Mathematical and Statistical Sciences

Deadline for Doctoral Applications:

Genetics and Biochemistry: December 15th for fall admission and September 1st for spring admission
Mathematical and Statistical Sciences: January 15th for fall admission and October 1st for spring admission
Biological Sciences and Environmental Toxicology: December 10th for fall or spring admission

Active Research Programs through the CHG include**:

• Investigating the roles of gene regulation, post-translational modification and structural variation in common and rare diseases
• Developing more powerful models for genotype-phenotype prediction
• Utilizing systems genetics approaches in cellular and animal models to more fully understand the genome-wide impact of genetic variants on molecular networks in health and disease in human populations

**If a student chooses to pursue a degree while at the Center for Human Genetics, he or she will earn a degree in the department of the mentoring professor.
