- Experience in working with large biological datasets and facility with alignment, annotation, variant calling, RNAseq analysis, functional analysis, etc. preferred
- Experience with building bioinformatics pipelines preferred
- Experience and intimate familiarity with advanced bioinformatic techniques such as elastic net, neural networks, machine learning, AI, etc. preferred
- Knowledge of command line, R, and Python required
- Strong communication and writing skills required
Postdoctoral Fellow
Immunological Landscapes of Lung Cancer
Postdoctoral fellowship position available immediately to a highly motivated and self-reliant individual with an interest in the field of cancer immunology, cancer immunotherapy, and cancer vaccine development. The fellow will perform translational research experiments using tumor and blood specimens to identify immune cell populations and immune mechanisms associated with the development of high-risk early-stage lung cancers.
Requirements
- Ph.D. in biological sciences
- Specific expertise in cell culture, microscopy and flow cytometry
- Background in immunology and/or statistics preferred
