"Bioinformatics Assistant | Laboratory of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics"

Organization Overview

Genetics has furnished the parts list for vertebrate development but not the instructions necessary to assemble those parts and create an embryo. The Laboratory of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics, led by Dr. Eric D. Siggia, studies embryonic stem cells from mice and humans using methods derived from biophysics that permit the self-organization potential of stem cells to manifest itself. The assays reveal how signaling pathways integrate cues across space and time to pattern the developing embryo.

Overview

We seek a highly motivated Bioinformatics Assistant to join the Laboratory of Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. The primary responsibility will be to process time-lapse datasets of mouse embryos acquired using light-sheet microscopy.

Responsibilities

• Use custom Python/MATLAB-based software developed in lab
• Correct nuclear segmentations generated by state-of-the-art deep learning models
• Classify cell types
• Refine lineage tracking trees
• Will learn/apply computational geometry techniques to extract 3D embryo structure

Qualifications

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computational Biology, Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics, Mathematics, or related field

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Interest in biology/ biomedical research
• Coding experience
