Postdoctoral Research Fellow Positions Available
Full-time postdoctoral research fellow positions are available in Dongwon Lee’s Laboratory. We study disease-associated genetic variants using computational approaches with a specific focus on transcriptional regulatory mechanisms. We have developed several machine-learning methods for the analysis of regulatory elements and regulatory variants (Lee et al., Nature Genetics 2015; Lee, Bioinformatics 2016; Lee et al., Genome Research 2018; Han et al., PNAS 2022). Our laboratory will continue to develop computational methods to model regulatory control of human diseases by incorporating improved machine-learning algorithms and single-cell multi-omic data (genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic.) New computational frameworks will help discover the molecular mechanisms driving the development and progression of human diseases.
The ideal applicant should have received a Ph.D. degree within 12 months or expect to do so within the following 12 months in computational biology, bioinformatics, bioengineering, biostatistics, computer science, or other related fields.
Strong programming skills in Python, C/C++, R, or equivalent are required.
Experience with Unix/Linux and working with large genetic and genomic data in a cluster-computing environment is highly preferred.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills and a willingness to write grant proposals and manuscripts are necessary.
Interested candidates should send a CV and a cover letter to: dongwon.lee@childrens.harvard.edu
