This individual will be primarily responsible for overseeing multiscale (bulk, single-nucleus, and spatial) analysis of gene expression data from human tissue samples. Typical bioinformatic tasks will include preprocessing, normalization, and network analysis of sequencing data.  More complex bioinformatic tasks will include multiscale integration and modeling. This individual will work closely with other lab members and collaborators to develop and characterize novel reagents for targeting tumor vascular markers. Experiments will utilize mouse xenograft and allograft models, human cerebral organoid models, and 3D microfluidic human microvascular models. Other responsibilities will include preparing high-quality figures, presenting findings at seminars and scientific meetings, drafting manuscripts, and mentoring junior lab members.

Job Requirements: 

Must possess a PhD in a biomedical field with one or more first-author publications. No postdoctoral experience is preferred but up one year of postdoctoral experience is acceptable. Relevant bioinformatic and bench experience are required. Applicants should possess a strong background in cancer research and/or vascular research, as well as proven expertise in molecular/cellular biology, biochemistry, and cell culture. Neuroscience experience is also a plus. Must be legally authorized to work in the USA and available to start work on site by Spring 2025.
