Job Description:
The Broad is looking for exceptional candidates to join the Cardiovascular Disease Initiative (CVDi) . The successful candidates will join an interdisciplinary team of computational biologists, laboratory scientists, and clinicians working together to identify and validate new molecular targets for heart disease, with the ultimate goal of advancing novel therapeutics to the clinic in collaboration with a strategic industry partner. We are currently looking for candidates to contribute to identifying new pathways for heart failure using a range of innovative technologies, principally high-resolution mapping of cardiovascular tissue via single-cell RNA sequencing. The candidates will take the lead on performing analyses of single-cell studies, prioritizing potential targets, and collaborating directly with scientists performing experimental research studies at the bench. Example workstreams include:
