Job Description:
We are seeking a rigorous and highly motivated bioinformatician or computational biologist with a strong background in computer science, statistics, or a related quantitative field, that is interested in developing and applying computational tools and pipelines for analyzing large-scale human genetics and functional genomics (e.g., whole genome sequencing, epigenetic, and RNA-sequencing data) or other -omics data, with the goal of gaining new biological insights on the causes of complex eye diseases and proposing new prevention and treatment targets. The ideal candidate should have strong programming skills and experience with large-scale data analysis, such as next-generation sequencing, and be excited to contribute to advancing science and medicine of eye disease. If interested, please send your CV, a cover letter describing your previous research experience and future research interests, and contact information for 3 references, to Dr. Ayellet Segrè: ayellet_segre@meei.harvard.edu EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
Additional Info:
The Segrè lab in the Department of Ophthalmology and Ocular Genomic Institute at Massachusetts Eye and Ear Infirmary (MEEI), a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School, develops and applies new computational and statistical methods that integrate large-scale human genetic studies with functional genomics and other biological data, to identify new causal genes and regulatory mechanisms of common eye diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
