-===== Open positions ===== 
- 
-Research assistantship and postdoctoral opportunities are available in the Oncinfo Lab. See the [[https://jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/486328/research-positions-in-computational-biology-at-all-levels-postdoctoral-phd-and-ms-students/?TrackID=148656|2018]] [{{:wiki:public:recruit_oncinfo_2018.pdf|pdf]}}  and [[https://jobs.sciencecareers.org/job/498929/computational-biologist-interested-in-neurodegenerative-disorders-and-cancer-research/?TrackID=9|2019]] [{{:wiki:public:approved.pdf|pdf}}  ] advertisements for more details on the postdoctoral position, and also if you are interested in joining the lab as a graduate student. PhD applicants must be strong in machine learning and knowledgeable in molecular biology to be successful in multidisciplinary research as illustrated in our exemplar[[:machine_learning_and_molecular_biology_requirements| papers]]. Even if the application deadline is passed, strong applicants with a masters degree may start //immediately//  as a visiting scientist with possibility of joining the PhD program within a year. There are also some opportunities to apply for postdoctoral fellowship [[:postdoctorial_fellowship_awards|awards]]. Experienced postdocs can be promoted to an Instructor and then a Research Assistant Professor position. Taking an [[:r_test|R test]] is essential in the interview process. Also, be prepared to play [[https://www.google.com/search?q=minesweeper&oq=min&aqs=chrome.0.69i59j69i57j69i59j69i60l2j69i61j69i65l2.874j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8|Minesweeper]] during the interview.

-===== Computational resources ===== 
- 
-To run our //in silico//  experiments, we use several [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vP0MSHRQ9oMjnv02eiqrOY0cs0WaVxp5dyLjiWtSzrQ/edit|resources]] provided by The Texas Advanced Computing Center ([[https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/|TACC]]) e.g., [[https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/systems/lonestar|Lonestar]] , which is a computing system with over 30,00 cores, and [[https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/systems/stampede|Stampede]], which is one of the 10 top supercomputers in the world with 10 petaFLOPS dedicated to scientific research. Secure HEPA compliant resources at TACC include [[https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/systems/hikari|Hikari]], which has 10K cores and is connected to [[https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/systems/corral|Corral]] with a capacity of 15 PBs. We have also access to NSF-supported ​[[https://portal.xsede.org|XSEDE]] recourses including [[https://portal.xsede.org/jetstream|Jetstream]].
