Benaroya Research Institute is seeking a bioinformatics and machine learning expert who has demonstrated experience working with large multi-omics, next-generation sequencing (bulk/single-cell) and single-cell cytometery datasets. Candidate should have working knowledge and skills in statistical analysis, regression analysis, graph theory, bayesian learning and other exploratory/inferential analytical tools. Individuals with background training in Dynamical Systems Analysis and/or Deep Learning are strongly encouraged to apply.
The individual will join as a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Systems Immunology Group which is broadly engaged in basic and applied studies using complex systems theory, high throughput techniques as well as mathematical and computational tools to understand the functioning of the immune system in health and disease. The group works closely with informaticians and immunologists in many groups at BRI, resulting in a rich environment for quantitative, computational, and laboratory collaborations in immune disease research.
The candidate will implement bioinformatics analysis algorithms and develop analytical pipelines for extracting biomarkers from large time series datasets that will provide insights into mechanisms underlying successful response to treatment in clinical trials.
This position is remote, and is open to candidates anywhere within the U.S.A.
Responsibilities:
• Analyze multi-omics data to derive relevant insights using state-of-the-art statistical methods
• Implement pipelines and algorithms for different types of biological data analysis and visualization
• Perform integrative, pathway, and network analyses to understand disease mechanisms and discover insights
• Apply machine learning models for biomarker identification and patient stratification
• Effectively communicate analysis results via presentations
