By identifying treatment options in this manner, we believe medicine becomes more rational, more precise and, well, more personal. 


The Barthel Laboratory is a cancer genomics lab focused on utilizing state-of-the-art genomic approaches to study the development and evolution of glial brain tumors (gliomas). The lab has a particular interest in the fundamental role of telomere dysfunction in glioma development, but is generally interested in all aspects of tumor evolution including but not limited to longitudinal studies of therapy response assessed by genomic analyses of tissue samples and liquid biopsies. We are looking for a talented, passionate and highly motivated postdoctoral fellow to work in the area of cancer genome evolution using long-read sequencing.

Position Summary
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work on projects utilizing the latest technologies in long and short-read sequencing for analyses of structural variation and genome assembly. We are equipped with both the PacBio Revio and Oxford Nanopore Promethion long-read sequencers. Our team is skilled in library preparation for long-read sequencing and Hi-C using standard short reads, ensuring an ample supply of data to work with. The fellow will take part in the development of new tools for analyzing long reads and oversee the analysis of larger cohorts of samples.
