Reporting Structure and Team The Postdoctoral Reasearch Associate reports to the VP, Informatics and is a key member of the Informatics team. Essential Job Functions:
- Perform translationally-relevant research on the tumor-immune interface in collaboration with biological data scientists at the Parker Institute and researchers at PICI member labs
- Develop bioinformatics methods to analyze one or more of the 10+ data types we work with, including CyTOF, MIBI, 16S Ribosomal Sequencing, (single cell) ATAC-seq, Whole Exome Sequencing and (single cell) RNA-seq
- Leverage a cloud-based compute environment based around tools such as Docker, Cromwell/WDL, Google Cloud Platform, and deep learning frameworks such as Tensorflow, to perform rigorous, reproducible analysis on large data sets.
- Contribute to the scientific environment at the Parker Institute by presenting at internal meetings, identifying relevant literature, and broadly serving as an in-house expert on your research area.
- Publish in top-tier journals, contribute to open source projects, and/or present at national conferences, as desired.
- Complete their Ph.D. in immunology, cancer biology, applied math, biophysics, bioinformatics, machine learning, computer science, or similar by start of fellowship
- Have solid data analysis abilities in R or Python
- Have a passion for collaborative, interdisciplinary scientific research that generates real impact
- Be highly motivated and able to work independently
- Have excellent oral and written communication skills
- Desired career path is not a criterion for selection, and candidates seeking to ultimately become industry data scientists, faculty members, start-up founders, or something else altogether are encouraged to apply.
