Position: Postdoctoral Researcher or Research Associate

Department: Research Center for Allergy and Immunology (RCAI), RIKEN 
Yokohama Institute, Japan

An important mission of our research unit is to develop and maintain 
bioinformatics platform and data resources in order to gain 
immunological insights into Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases (PID) 
through genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data and its analysis. To 
achieve this, we have developed an open access database on PID, 
designated as "Resource of Asian Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases - 
RAPID", a freely accessible worldwide web resource at 
http://rapid.rcai.riken.jp/. Outlines of ongoing research investigation 
include: (1) Elucidating PID signaling and regulatory pathways using 
visualization and high throughput data analysis software tools to 
identify potential candidate new molecules in PID pathogenesis (2) 
Mapping of phenotype terms and building of hierarchical PID ontology 
class structures for developing web-based integrated PID phenotype 
resource (3) Developing systematic workflow to handle annotation of 
complex and heterogeneous PIDs.

Applicants should have a Ph.D or Master's degree in Computer science / 
Life Sciences with a strong Bioinformatics / Biostatistics background 
and a proven research track-record.
