Job Description

A full-time postdoctoral fellow position is available in Professor Wenyi Wang's lab at the Department of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Dr. Wang's laboratory conducts cutting-edge research to understand the evolution of cancer transcriptomes through DNA-RNA dynamics, aiming to uncover mechanisms of cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic response. This research is fundamental to advancing our knowledge of cancer and improving patient outcomes. See further information at the lab webpage: .

Duties and Responsibilities: We are seeking a highly self-motivated postdoctoral candidate with experience in cancer research and strong analytical skills in single-cell RNA-seq data. Statistical modeling expertise in machine learning and/or Bayesian models is preferred.

This position will involve both methodology development and analysis of multi-omic sequencing data, including spatial transcriptomic data, from cancer patient cohorts and interpretation. The candidate will work closely with our experienced clinician collaborators at MD Anderson, contributing to revealing the underlying mechanism behind the response heterogeneity of cancer and developing novel therapeutic targets.

Position Qualification: The ideal candidate should have a Ph.D. in bioinformatics, statistics, biostatistics, computer science or a related field. Extensive experience with R and Python, and prior experience in computational biology are required. The candidate must have excellent written and verbal communication skills, the ability to engage in independent thinking, be meticulous in their attitude towards work, and be collegial as a team member. The candidate must demonstrate scholarship through at least two published first-author manuscripts.

Salary Range: $70,000 to $76,000, depending on years of experience

Benefits: The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center offers excellent benefits, including medical, dental, paid time off, retirement, tuition benefits, educational opportunities, and individual and team recognition.
