Research Scientist in Computational and Functional Genomics
5 months ago
Some of the specific goals of this work are to:
Optimize scalable single-nucleus and spatial genomic technologies for fresh and archived human biospecimens.
Apply targeted and systematic genome engineering approaches to perturb candidate regulatory elements or genes in relevant cellular models.
Work with collaborators to develop and optimize phenotypic screens for genetic and drug perturbations. There will also be opportunities to develop bioinformatics and computational skills through collaborations on multiple internal and external projects.
The Research Scientist will have access to a broad range of cutting edge wet-lab and computing resources, and will be exposed to a stimulating, multi-disciplinary and inclusive environment in the Center for Public Health Genomics (CPHG). This work will involve close collaborations with other CPHG labs to broaden training in both wet lab and computational biology skills. The candidate will also benefit from strong collaborations with faculty members in the Robert M. Berne Cardiovascular Research Center and Departments of Biomedical Engineering and Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics .
