Experience in machine learning and AI approaches is highly desirable.
Responsibilities

• Lead analysis of single-cell RNA-seq and multiome datasets (joint RNA/ATAC profiling)
• Perform integrative analysis across modalities, including bulk RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, and DNA methylation datasets
• Develop processing pipelines for novel single cell multiomic technologies
• Apply statistical modeling and machine learning methods to identify cellular states, regulatory programs, and epigenetic signatures
• Design and implement integrative multi-omic analyses across cohorts and experimental systems
• Present findings internally and contribute to publications and grant applications
• Stay current with emerging single-cell and AI-driven genomic analysis methodologies

Qualifications

• Ph.D in sciences or related field
• Minimum five years of experience with scientific investigation.
• Must have demonstrated outstanding achievement in a field of research
• Must have contributed to a number of peer-reviewed publications, inventions or the like, at least some of which have had a major impact on advancing the field or discipline.
• Prior experience successfully securing external grant funding is highly desirable.
