Postdoctoral Fellow

The Pediatric and Adolescent Gynecology Lab is searching for a Postdoctoral fellow with experience in computational biology, functional genomics, and spatial biology. Our laboratory studies ovarian histology and function in children and adolescents with conditions associated with premature ovarian insufficiency. We are using single nucleus RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics techniques to elucidate mechanisms of follicle loss in these conditions. The successful candidate will be engaged in projects to perform single-cell RNA-seq / spatial transcriptomics analysis, proteomics & single-cell ATAC-seq analyses and histopathological image processing, to harness the full range of biologically relevant data to better understand ovarian function and cell-cell communication between different ovarian cell types in a disease condition.

• Ph.D. in Computational biology, Bioinformatics or Biomedical Sciences with experience in functional genomics and spatial biology.
• Strong knowledge and experience in programming languages such as R, Python, Bash and machine learning.
• Demonstrated experience analyzing multi-omics data such as single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, proteomics & ATAC-seq analyses.
• Experience with using network-based analyses and software/resources (graph and/or pathway databases) is highly desirable.
• An interest in applying computational methods to biological problems.
• Excellent communication skills, written and verbal as evidenced by publications, and conference presentations.
• Ability to work independently and in a collaborative manner with a diverse group of scientists and clinicians.
