We are currently looking for a talented postdoctoral researcher to lead large-scale spatial/single cell initiatives within our research program as well as to devise novel computational methods that will enable us to bring these two novel technologies closer to translation. The researcher will have the ability to leverage some of the most extensive single cell and spatial transcriptomic datasets to date, generated in-house.
The Postdoc Single Cell and Spatial Technologies Bioinformatician will have the chance to be incorporated in cutting-edge research conducted in the Vlachos Lab (www.non-coding.org ), in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard.
Local and International Applicants are encouraged to apply
The position aims for candidates with a strong quantitative and computational background with extensive experience in genomics/transcriptomics (analysis of different bulk/single cell/spatial Next Generation sequencing Techniques as well as development of novel methods).
Our location within the Cancer Research Institute, the first Institute for RNA Medicine in Boston, Harvard Medical School, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, creates a unique environment for avant-garde research and scientific growth. The researcher will receive training on research, grant writing, career development, and mentoring. She/he will have the opportunity to lead impactful projects and collaborate directly with an extensive network of leading researchers and companies in the US and internationally. Successful applicants will receive a competitive remuneration and benefits package.
