Job Description:
The Leon H Charney Division of Cardiology and the Endocrine Division of the Department of Medicine at NYU School of Medicine are seeking a highly motivated, enthusiastic and creative individual to become part of a team of scientists funded by a NIH Program Project Grant that investigates the genomic and epigenetic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease and diabetes using computational approaches. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work on various types of large datasets generated from next-generation sequencing methods including single-cell approaches and will interact with our experimental collaborators. The projects are focused on the metabolic, transcriptomic, and epigenetic characteristics of inflammatory cells called macrophages, in sites that become dysfunctional in the major health problems, cardiovascular disease (atherosclerotic plaques) and diabetes/obesity (fat tissue). Besides the Program Project scientists, the successful candidate will also interact with a vibrant group of bioinformaticians in the Applied Bioinformatics Laboratories (http://nyulmc.org/abl) at the School. ABL provides computational support and expertise to promote innovative cutting-edge research conducted by principal investigators at the NYU Langone Medical Center. This is a great opportunity to quickly acquire new skills, develop and publish new tools and methods, analyze challenging datasets and be a co-author in multiple studies on diseases with major impacts on mortality and morbidity world-wide.
