Computational Postdoc in the Gutierrez-Arcelus Lab - Division of Immunology, Boston Children's

Computational postdoc position at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School

The Gutierrez-Arcelus Lab at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School (gutierrezarceluslab.com) is seeking a dry lab postdoctoral research fellow to work on systems immunology of immune mediated diseases. This is a fully funded position for at least two years. The postdoctoral fellow will be conducting research mainly in collaboration with Dr. Janet Chou’s lab to understand the role of obesity in multisystemic inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). This will involve analyzing single cell and other functional genomics datasets, as well as genetic variation data.

The Gutierrez-Arcelus lab is an interdisciplinary group that utilizes genetics and multi-omics quantitative approaches to deepen our understanding of human gene regulation, how it varies between individuals, and how these regulatory differences contribute to immune-mediated disease. The lab is part of the Division of Immunology at Boston Children’s Hospital, and Harvard Medical School, and is affiliated with the Broad Institute. We have both dry and wet lab space, and we collaborate with immunology laboratories. The Boston area is a vibrant and dynamic scientific community that offers unique opportunities for scientific growth.

Successful candidates must hold (or soon receive) a Ph.D., M.D. or M.D/Ph.D. degree in the field of genomics, biostatistics, bioinformatics, or other quantitative sciences; and should have a track record of research achievements and ability to work independently and collaboratively in a team. Other desired (but not required) skills for this position are a) transcriptomics or epigenomics background, b) immunology background; c) human genetics background.

Interested applicants should email mgutierr@broadinstitute.org with their CV.
