Omics techniques emerged as efficient and comprehensive approaches to profile bio-signatures in many biomedical fields at the resolution of cell molecules and tissue imaging pixels. Quantifying and interpreting these signatures from omics profiling face data challenges such as heterogeneities, noise/errors, large volume, context complexities, etc. Our lab (Dr. Teng Lab) in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics focuses on developing statistical and machine learning methods to analyze, annotate and integrate complex omics datasets. We build open-source software to ease the data analysis across omics modalities. Particularly, our ongoing work in the lab addresses questions including: heterogeneity removal in genomic sequencing data, enhancer function dissection with large epigenomic data modeling, DNA oncovirus mechanisms with cross-modality integration, etc. Beyond ongoing focuses, we are also expanding the research in other topics: statistical modeling in spatial omics; AI models in translational pathology; machine learning in clonal hematopoiesis evolution, etc. We are committed to understanding human diseases like cancers through data science innovations. We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in omics data science to contribute to any of the topics above.

Ideal Postdoc Candidate:

• Highly motivated and passionate about biomedical data science
• Strong background in machine learning and/or statistics
• Proficient programming and scientific writing
• Experienced in omics data processing
• Excellent communication skills

Minimum Qualifications:

• A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics or a related field.
