Postdoctoral Fellow - Bioinformatics & Computational Biology

Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Biology, AI/ML, and Cancer Systems Biology

We are seeking highly motivated postdoctoral fellows in computational biology, cancer systems biology, and artificial intelligence/machine learning to join our research group at UT MD Anderson Cancer Center.

The fellows will contribute to the development of a new AI/ML-driven paradigm for precision oncology, integrating computational methodology with large-scale translational and clinical datasets. Projects will span both the development of novel machine-learning and computational approaches and their application to biologically and clinically important problems in cancer.

Our group has assembled extensive collections of single-cell and spatial omics data, multi-omics datasets, functional and pharmacologic data, and clinically annotated patient cohorts across multiple cancer types. Fellows will also have opportunities to work closely with clinical, translational, and experimental collaborators and to participate in the generation of new datasets using cutting-edge spatial imaging and profiling technologies. This environment provides an unusual opportunity to develop computational methods and rapidly evaluate their biological and translational relevance.

This position offers access to an exceptionally rich collection of spatial omics, single-cell, multi-omics, and clinically annotated datasets, together with numerous unanswered biological and translational questions. Fellows will have considerable opportunities to lead projects, develop independent research directions, collaborate across disciplines, and generate high-impact publications.

The research program is well funded through multiple NIH, CPRIT, and other research awards, providing strong support for ambitious computational and translational projects.

UT MD Anderson Cancer Center is one of the world's leading institutions for cancer research and clinical care and provides an outstanding environment for computational, translational, and interdisciplinary research. Salaries and benefits are highly competitive.

Houston is one of the most diverse and dynamic cities in the United States, with excellent neighborhoods and schools, internationally recognized museums and performing arts organizations, outstanding restaurants, and extensive year-round recreational opportunities.

All duties and responsibilities are carried out in compliance with institutional policies, ethical research standards, and applicable federal and state regulations.

The postdoc fellows will work on projects with the objectives:
