Further, this position will analyze a wide variety of datasets (e.g., single cell RNA-seq/proteomics, spatial transcriptomics, and imaging data) for current and new projects. These analyses encompass a range of computational approaches including big data analysis through dimensional reduction and inference of disease relevance by comparison to matched human data. This position will network with members of the Computational Sciences and IT departments to disseminate data, analyses, and assist with visualization to facilitate broader community access. We are dedicated to open science and establishing an inclusive culture to expand our vision of scientific progress and encourage data usage.

  • Experience with R is required, other languages such as Python are recommended
  • Experience with algorithm development in areas such as machine learning, genomics, statistics
  • Experience with genomic data is strongly recommended
  • Knowledge of genetics, neuroscience, and neurodegeneration are desired but not required
