About the role

  • Our research focuses on understanding bacterial heterogeneity, antibiotic responses, host-pathogen interactions, and microbiome dynamics.
  • A major goal of the lab is to bridge bacterial genomics with transcriptomics to uncover how genetic variation, genome architecture, and cellular states shape bacterial behavior and adaptation.
  • The successful candidate will have the opportunity to help shape emerging directions in bacterial single-cell genomics.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and apply computational approaches for bacterial genomics and transcriptomics.
  • Collaborate with laboratory members to design analyses, interpret results, and generate biological insights.
  • Help develop next-generation computational approaches for bacterial single-cell genomics.

Requirements

  • Required
  • Experience developing reproducible computational workflows and analysis pipelines.
  • Preferred
  • Experience with statistical modeling, machine learning, or other quantitative approaches for genomics data analysis.

Nice to have

  • Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Computer Science, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline.
  • Candidates must have formal training in a quantitative discipline, with either a Bachelor's or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related field.
  • Strong computational and programming skills (Python, R, Linux, and high-performance computing environments).
  • Demonstrated experience in genomics data analysis, evidenced by peer-reviewed publications in bacterial genomics, microbial genomics, transcriptomics, comparative genomics, or related fields.
  • Experience with reproducible research practices, version control, and computational workflow development.
  • Excellent communication and collaborative skills.
  • Research experience in bacterial genomics, microbial genomics, comparative genomics, transcriptomics, or single-cell genomics.
  • Experience integrating multiple genomic data types to address biological questions.
