"HMS - Postdoctoral Fellow in Biomedical Informatics"

Postdoctoral Fellows in Computational Genomics at Harvard Medical School

Several positions are available in the Park Lab (https://compbio.hms.harvard.edu/). The aim of the laboratory is to develop and apply innovative computational methods for genome sequencing data to enhance our understanding of disease processes including cancer and brain-related diseases.

Areas of interest include:

• Identification of mosaic mutations in non-tumor cells and application to lineage tracing
• Algorithms for characterizing structural alterations in bulk and single cell whole-genome data
• Mutational signature analysis for cancer/brain samples
• Analysis of repetitive elements including transposable elements and tandem repeats

The successful candidates will join a group of supportive and productive computational biologists and have an opportunity to collaborate with world-class biologists in the Harvard medical area.

Basic Qualifications:

• An ideal candidate will have a PhD in computational biology/bioinformatics/statistics/CS or another quantitative field.
• Superb programming and communication skills.
• Experience in analysis of high-throughput sequencing data is highly desirable.
