Job Description:
We are seeking a highly motivated individual who to join our single cell sequencing team. The primary job responsibility will be the bioinformatics analysis of high dimensional scRNA-seq datasets. Training will be provided as needed, however programming experience (R, Python) and RNA-sequencing analysis experience is required. The successful applicant will also have substantial molecular biology experience. This position offers superb opportunities for continued scientific learning and career development including primary and coauthorship, and is full-time. The successful applicant will also learn all aspects of the single cell RNA-Seq workflow, including tissue dissociation, microfluidic encapsulation, library generation, sequencing and bioinformatic analysis of sequencing data. This position is well suited to PhD scientists who do not wish to pursue an independent career but want to be a part of a dynamic team ion a very fast moving field. The successful applicant will hold the title of Bioinformaticist. The Humphreys Lab is a collaborative, highly productive and fun scientific work environment. PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Job Type/Schedule: This position is full-time and works approximately 40 hours per week. Department Name/Job Location: This position is in the Department of Internal Medicine, Renal Division. This position is for the Medical School Campus. The field of single cell transcriptomincs by RNA-Seq at high-throughput scale is revolutionizing biological investigation. Microfluidic droplet technologies allow co-encapsulation of a cell, barcoded DNA oligonucleotides and cell lysis buffer within a tiny droplet of about 2 nanoliters. These transformative approaches allow for parallel processing of thousands of cells with great efficiency and precision and they are already having far-reaching impacts across biology and medicine. We are applying two separate droplet microfluidics-based approaches, Drop-Seq and InDrops, for single cell RNA-sequencing of human and mouse kidney and human pluripotent stem cell-derived kidney organoids. Department Summary The Humphreys lab consists of 8 post-doctoral fellows, three research assistants. An overview of the Humphreys Lab research can be found at: http://humphreyslab.com/. Benefits This position is eligible for full-time benefits. Please visit our website at http://hr.wustl.edu to view a summary of benefits. Applicant Special Instructions Please submit a letter explaining your interest, a CV/resume, and contact information for three references with your application. Works in laboratory environment with potential exposure to biological, chemical and radioactive hazards. Must be physically able to wear protective equipment. Must be able to provide standard care to research animals. EOE Statement Washington University is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
