COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGIST Mootha Laboratory
Join the Mootha Laboratory at the Broad Institute to uncover the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in human disease. As a Ph.D. Data Scientist you will join a dynamic team of 25 post-docs and professional scientists dedicated to high-impact discovery.
Your role will involve analyzing and integrating high-dimensional multi-omics data (DNA sequencing RNA-seq single cell RNA-seq proteomics and metabolomics). You will work closely with lab members to influence all aspects of a projects lifecycle from initial experimental design and data capture to quality control statistical inference and biological interpretation.
As part of the Broad Institute you will have access to world-class computational infrastructure and a vibrant community of over 500 scientists. This is a rare opportunity to be part of an exciting team of leaders in biochemistry computational biology and clinical medicine with ample opportunities for co-authorship on high-impact publications.
