![]() Computational Biologist (2 Year Fixed Term) Stanford University The Idoyaga Lab in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at Stanford University School of Medicine (http://idoyagalab.stanford.edu) is seeking a Computational Biologist (Biostatistician 2) to join our lab and work on dendritic cells. The lab is taking an integrated and multidisciplinary approach to unravel the function and dysfunction of dendritic cells in the context of health and disease that includes the use of high-dimensional approaches such as mass cytometry (CyTOF), scRNAseq and ATACseq. The Computational Biologist will develop and apply state-of-the-art statistical and computational methods to interpret high-throughput proteomic, transcriptomic and epigenetic measurements from clinical samples and relevant mouse model systems. The Computational Biologist will also be responsible for maintaining in-house and established computational pipelines for high throughput omics analyses. The work will contribute to our overall mission of narrowing the gap between human and mouse dendritic cell biology to enable the development of dendritic cell-based therapeutics. We are looking for creative and passionate people at any stage of their careers, including senior computational biologists. The ideal candidate should have expertise in statistical methods of data analysis, fluency in standard programming and data analysis languages, interest in mentoring and training other lab members in computational biology and statistics, and knowledge of cell biology/immunology or related fields. The Computational Biologist will interact with experimental dendritic cell biologists to outline, test, validate and refine hypotheses, as well as devise new analysis plans. She/He will present results and progress updates, contribute to manuscript preparation, and will be expected to remain up to date on advances in immunology by attending seminars, journal clubs and reading relevant literature. The Idoyaga Lab upholds the highest professional standards while embracing and promoting a collaborative and diverse environment. We emphasize motivation, dedication to research, a team environment and training of lab members for their own career goals. The lab is part of the Microbiology and Immunology Program, the Immunology Program, the Stanford Cancer Institute, and the Chemistry, Engineering & Medicine for Human Health (ChEM-H) Institute. Stanford University and the Bay Area offer unique opportunities for scientific growth and interactions in a highly collaborative and dynamic environment. Duties include:
