Join Our Lab
Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology
The Wang Laboratory at MD Anderson Cancer Center is a computational biology research lab. We apply innovative bioinformatics approaches to dissect the tumor 'ecosystem' and to deeply profile tumor cells and cells of the tumor microenvironment as well as tumor-immune-stroma crosstalk at single-cell resolution and in the spatial context. Our overarching goal is to advance our understanding of the cellular and molecular cues underlying early tumorigenesis, disease progression, and the development of therapy resistance and translate our novel discoveries into improved patient care.
We are seeking multiple talented and highly motivated postdoctoral fellows with a strong background in bioinformatics and a passion for exploring the heterogeneity and evolution of tumor cells and the tumor microenvironment (TME) using state-of-the-art single cell and spatial multi-omics approaches.
Requirements: Ph.D. in computational biology, bioinformatics, quantitative science, biostatistics, data science, or a related field
Sr. Computational Scientist
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic senior computational scientist who will help develop and maintain the analytical pipelines for processing and analysis of single cell and spatial multi-omics datasets. A primary responsibility of this position is to conduct bioinformatics analysis and develop novel analytical methods and tools as needed to address key biological questions.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in bioinformatics, quantitative science, biostatistics, data science, computational biology, or a related field
- Experience in processing and analyzing single-cell multi-omics, and/or spatial omics data
- Three years of experience in scientific software development
Data Scientist
We are seeking a highly motivated and enthusiastic data scientist with a strong computational background and expertise in bioinformatics pipeline development. The successful candidate will lead the development and optimization of a multimodal single-cell pipeline. Additionally, the candidate will be responsible for providing regular updates and organizing efforts for advancing pipeline development.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Science, Engineering, Computer Science, Statistics, Computational Biology, or a related field
- Preferred: Master's or Ph.D. degree in computer science, quantitative science, bioinformatics, biostatistics, or a related field
- Three years experience in scientific software or industry development/analysis. With Master's degree, one years experience required. With Ph.D., no experience required.
