AI generated summary

  • You must be a PhD student in bioinformatics or related fields with experience in multi-omics data analysis using R, and strong skills in collaboration and communication.
  • You will review literature, analyze multi-omics datasets, implement models for biomarker discovery, collaborate with scientists, and document your findings and code.

Requirements

  • The candidate must be currently enrolled in a PhD program in bioinformatics, biostatistics, computational biology or related fields.
  • Hands-on experience with analysis of high-dimensional multi-omics data (e.g., DNA-seq and RNA-seq) and statistical models (e.g., linear model, classification and survival analysis) is required.
  • Experience in using R for the analysis of molecular data is required. Familiarity with python and bash is a plus.
  • Strong collaboration, interpersonal, and communication skills to clearly articulate problems, solutions, and concepts to a diverse team of scientists is required.
  • Experience with projects involving 1) biomarker identification and validation, 2) association analyses using large datasets, and 3) large genomic patient cohort studies such as The Cancer Genome Atlas is highly preferred.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct literature review to understand and evaluate published methods for biomarker discovery and validation.
  • Integrate and analyze internal and external multi-omics datasets for downstream analysis.
  • Implement statistical and computational models to derive potential biomarkers of treatment response.
  • Collaborate and communicate results to an innovative team of cross-functional scientists including Data Sciences, Discovery and Translational Research, and Clinical Sciences.
  • Generate reproducible codes and effectively document study design, analyses, and findings.
