JOB TITLE: Associate Scientist, Post Doc Fellow- Computational Immunology
The Postdoctoral Research Fellow joins a cross-functional translational research team to investigate cellular and tissue mechanisms in chronic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases, such as hidradenitis suppurativa. The fellow will analyze large-scale single-cell RNA-seq and spatial transcriptomics datasets from human tissue cohorts to identify disease-driving cellular programs, tissue microenvironments, and translational biomarkers. Key responsibilities include developing computational methods for data integration, annotation, and interpretation, as well as building cellular atlases and spatial niche discovery frameworks. The role requires proficiency in R, Python, GPU computing, HPC clusters, and AWS cloud environments. Candidates must apply advanced bioinformatics, statistical modeling, machine learning, and network biology to integrate transcriptomic, spatial, proteomic, and clinical data to generate mechanistic hypotheses and support therapeutic target evaluation and patient stratification.
