Job Description:
We are looking for a highly-motivated individual to join the laboratory of Dr. David Pellman at HHMI, the Broad Institute, and the single-cell genome center at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The successful applicant will be responsible for analyzing single-cell whole-genome and whole-transcriptome sequencing data, and for interpreting, integrating, and relating transcriptional/genetic information to experimental data from live-cell imaging. The candidate should have a strong computational/analytical background, demonstrated knowledge of research methods, be able to adapt quickly, and be part of a multi-disciplinary team. The position will focus on a new avenue of research using genomics as a tool for experimental biology, studying mechanisms that drive rapid genome evolution. Characteristic Duties:
