We have open positions for enthusiastic students, postdoctoral fellow, and research technicians who are passionate about bridging computational sciences, cancer biology, and single-cell genomics. Current projects range from developing statistical machine learning techniques for analyzing and integrating high-dimensional single-cell datasets to understanding tumor heterogeneity and tumor-immune interactions through collecting single-cell data from patient samples.
Postdoctoral Fellows:
Ideal candidates have a background in machine learning, statistics, data science, bioinformatics and/or genomics, cancer biology, immunology. We have opportunities for both computational and experimental research. Interested candidates should email Elham with their CV, a summary of research interests and future plans, and contact information for three references.
Graduate Students:
We are looking for exceptional MS/PhD students from a variety of backgrounds. Email Elham with your background, research interests, CV, and transcripts.
Undergraduate Students:
Motivated undergraduate students are welcome to join the lab. Email Elham with your CV, major, and research interests.
Senior Research Technician:
We are recruiting a senior research technician with a background in molecular biology, cell culture or bioengineering, and wet-lab experience, to start in Jan 2020 or after, to work on ongoing research projects and assist with lab management responsibilities. The lab research aims to characterize heterogeneity in the tumor microenvironment and underlying mechanisms of response to immunotherapies. Towards this goal, the wet lab works on single-cell (transcriptomic, epigenetic, TCR, etc) profiling of patient samples from different cancer types, and closely interacts with the computational component of the lab. The wet lab is located in the Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) campus.
