DCHB, South Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3QU THIS IS A RE-ADVERTSEMENT AND PREVIOUS APPLICANTS SHOULD NOT RE-APPLY We are seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join the lab of Prof Peter Sarkies to spearhead a project to use computational analyses of gene networks in order to identify potential novel sources of DNA damage, focussing on metabolic and epigenetic pathways.  Two approaches will be followed: coevolution across species to identify modules of proteins that co-occur across evolution, and co-expression across both healthy tissues and cancer to identify proteins that share similar (or antagonistic) expression profiles across multiple human samples.  Pairs of proteins that are predicted to co-evolve will be tested further using analysis of mutation signatures in cancer.  This is an excellent opportunity for a computational biologist to develop their skills in analysis of “big data”, as well as to further our understanding of the...
