Job Description:
Duties & Responsibilities: Exciting opportunity to uncover the fundamental architecture of the mouse brain using cutting-edge techniques in a collaborative and enriching intellectual environment. The Harvard FAS Informatics Group, in collaboration with the Dulac Lab in the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University, seeks a bioinformatician for genomics analysis, with a focus on single cell RNA-seq analysis. This position will be 100% dedicated to ongoing, NIH-funded projects in the Dulac lab to catalog and understand the diversity and function of cell types in the mouse brain using single-cell RNA-seq and other cutting edge techniques. This is an exciting opportunity to be a key member of an interdisciplinary team that will revolutionize our understanding of the way brains function. Based within the Informatics group at Harvard, the successful candidate will:
