Position Title
Research Assistant Professor-Genomic Sequencing Data Analysis
Job Summary
We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Research Assistant Professor with expertise in genomic sequencing data analysis to join our multidisciplinary research team. The successful candidate will lead computational and statistical analyses of large-scale genomic datasets, including whole-genome, whole-exome, and transcriptomic sequencing, to advance projects in cancer biology, precision medicine, and related biomedical fields. This position offers the opportunity to develop independent research while contributing to collaborative team science.
Essential Job Duties
  • Perform high-quality computational analysis of next-generation sequencing (NGS) data, including short and long-read whole-genome, whole-exome, RNA-seq, and spatial transcriptomics datasets.
  • Develop and implement bioinformatics pipelines for variant calling, structural variant detection, transcriptome profiling, and integrative multi-omics analyses.
  • Apply statistical and machine learning approaches to identify genomic alterations, biomarkers, and functional networks.
  • Collaborate with wet-lab scientists to integrate genomic data with experimental results.
  • Contribute to manuscript preparation, figure generation, and presentation of findings at scientific conferences.
  • Write and contribute to competitive grant applications, providing preliminary data and computational expertise.
  • Mentor graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and research staff in computational genomics.
