Graduate Student Positions

We welcome graduate students with strong interests in computational and statistical genomics.  If you want to know more about the CMMG graduate programs and how to apply please visit this link. For questions about opportunities in our lab, please contact rpique@wayne.edu directly.

Post-doctoral Positions

Post-doctoral positions are available in the Pique-Regi group. Examples of collaborative projects include: characterizing variation in the response to hormonal and environmental stimuli, identifying tissue-specific cis-regulatory modules with DNase-I/ATAC-seq footprinting, and detecting signals of selection and adaptation in gene regulatory regions. The ultimate aim is to learn about the genetic basis of disease susceptibility and response to treatment.

We have a strong record in using both functional and evolutionary genomics approaches. We use a combination of high throughput experimental platforms and computational/statistical tools. We seek applicants who are very creative, energetic, and can work independently. We operate relatively small but well-funded and research intense laboratory. The goal is that everyone should have the resources, support and mentorship needed to be successful and become an independent investigator.

Specifically we are looking for talented individuals with a strong computational background. Applicants should have a strong background in quantitative/statistical skills, and a very strong interest in biological applications. A background in genomics, gene regulation or statistical genetics is an advantage, although we will consider outstanding candidates with quantitative degrees (e.g. in Statistics, CS, or Engineering) For more information please contact:

Undergraduate Student Positions

We welcome Wayne State undergraduate students with a strong interest in genetics, bioinformatics, evolution and/or genomics. Students with programming skills will be able to contribute the most to current and ongoing research projects. Opportunities are available for undergraduate students who are interested in volunteering, research/directed-study classes and undergraduate thesis projects. Students from Wayne State and from any other University in the United States who are interested in summer research opportunities (experimental and/or computational) are encouraged to apply to the Summer Undergraduate Research Program.

For questions about opportunities in our lab, please send me a CV and list of interests and skills.
