• Test model-driven hypotheses in in-vitro and in-vivo systems by interfacing with clinical and laboratory scientists. 
• Have well developed scientific writing and critical review skills essential for production of concise project reports which represent a coherent synthesis of the biology of the experimental system.

QUALIFICATIONS

• PhD in bioinformatics, computational biology, statistical genetics with a very strong background in toxicology (demonstrated track record)
  -- or --
  PhD in Toxicology (or related discipline), with a demonstrated track record in analysis and interpretation of molecular toxicology data, specifically, high density gene expression data.
• Demonstrated experience in disease pathways, network biology or pharmacogenomics.

  WHAT WE OFFER
