Division of Allergy / Immunology
Bioinformatics / Molecular Biology
JOB DESCRIPTION: A Research Fellow position is available immediately in Professor Marc Rothenberg’s laboratory. The Rothenberg lab is focused on elucidating the mechanisms of allergic responses especially in a disease called Eosinophilic Esophagitis. The laboratory has identified and biologically characterized several critical pathways that regulate allergic responses. The fellow will use NGS data (including whole exome analysis, genome wide association studies, RNA sequencing (single cell and whole tissue) and associated meta-data) and bioinformatics strategies to study the genetic basis of allergic responses. A high degree of collaborative research to establish causal mechanism is in place.
EDUCATION / WORK EXPERIENCE: Ph.D. in related discipline, MD, or equivalent required. Candidates must have a doctoral degree (MD, PhD, or equivalent), along with prior genetic and genomics experience, particularly working with next generation sequencing data and GWAS studies. The ideal candidate will have an excellent understanding of biological systems and processes, particularly immunology. Experience with molecular biology is preferred. Excellent written, verbal and communications skills are crucial. For consideration, please send a CV, a brief statement of scientific / research interests, and contact information for three references to:
