Should You Apply?
The Janga Lab of Genomics and Systems Biology develops computational approaches to mine complex and heterogeneous data sources publicly available in biomedical sciences, with the goal of understanding how the regulation, structure and dynamics of biological systems shape the phenotypic landscape of an organism and its relevance to disease conditions. Should you be interested in applying for one of the below posted positions or areas of research to work in my laboratory, please follow the guidelines for sending your application.
Open Positions
PhD Students
I will be routinely recruiting PhD students through the Bioinformatics PhD program from the Luddy School of Informatics at Indiana University Indianapolis. You can find an overview of the structure of this program from the School’s website. It is also possible to accept students through other programs in the Schools of Informatics and Medicine at Indiana University to which the Lab is affiliated with. Interested students are encouraged to send informal inquires regarding their eligibility and possibilities for applying to other PhD programs at Indiana University. Please make sure to include your CV and a one page description of what you would like to work on if you are expecting a response. If you still don’t hear from me it simply means we don’t have any open positions for this year.
Masters Students
My laboratory routinely accepts Masters students enrolled through the Bioinformatics Masters program at the Luddy, Indiana University Indianapolis. I typically accept two students per year during their Masters in my laboratory. Interested students are expected to be highly motivated, as research work can be a demanding exercise. If you wish to be considered please make sure to include your CV and a one page description of what you would like to work on.
Internships/Visiting Scholars
We frequently host interns and visiting scholars who are interested in spending at least a year in the laboratory to work on their Masters thesis project or equivalent. If you are driven and have the experience (at least basic) in programming with in the context of computational biology, you are welcome to inquire about opportunities for internships. Interested candidates are encouraged to send an email along with their CV with the email subject ‘Internship’. Please make sure to mention the exact duration you are interested in spending in my laboratory, along with two letters of reference in support of your application.
