We have open positions for enthusiastic students, postdoctoral fellows, and research assistants who are passionate about bridging computational sciences and cancer biology.
Postdoctoral Fellows:
Current projects include developing and applying statistical machine learning and deep learning techniques for analyzing and integrating high-dimensional single-cell and spatial genomic and imaging datasets to understand tumor heterogeneity and tumor-immune interactions. Ideal candidates have a background in machine learning, statistics, computer science, bioinformatics and/or genomics, cancer biology, immunology. We have opportunities for both computational and experimental research. For more details see this. Interested candidates should email Elham (ea2690 AT columbia DOT edu) with their CV, a summary of research interests and future plans, and contact information for three references.
Joint Postdoctoral Position:
We have a hybrid experimental+computational postdoc scholar position, jointly with the Synthetic Organogenesis (Simunovic) Lab at Columbia University. The Azizi and Simunovic labs collaborate on several projects and are located in a shared lab space making the transfer of knowledge and technologies between the two labs seamless. The candidate will take part in exciting projects on human organ development and cancer biology. An example of a joint project includes the spatial and temporal single cell mapping of the full differentiation landscape in early human embryogenesis using engineered stem cell-based models and CRISPR approaches, as well as their application to modeling human tissues in health and disease, including cancer. However, the candidate will have the freedom to choose how to use the lab’s technologies to shape their own research project. For more details see this. Please email Elham Azizi (ea2690 AT columbia.edu) and Mijo Simunovic (ms6051 AT columbia.edu) with your CV and contacts for three letters of reference.
Graduate Students:
We are looking for exceptional MS/PhD students from a variety of backgrounds. Email Elham (ea2690 AT columbia DOT edu) with your background, research interests, CV, and transcripts. We accept PhD students through the Biomedical Engineering and Computer Science department admissions. We also accept rotation students from other programs within Columbia and CUIMC.
Undergraduate Students:
Motivated undergraduate students are welcome to join the lab. Email Elham (ea2690 AT columbia DOT edu) with your CV, major, and research interests.
Software Engineer:
We are seeking engineers or bioinformaticians to build, improve and scale our pipelines and tools. A strong technical background, experience with genomic data, and interest in applying ML tools to genomic data is preferable. Email Elham (ea2690 AT columbia DOT edu) with your CV and interests.
