Summary

About the Lab:
Omics techniques emerged as efficient and comprehensive approaches to profile bio-signatures in many biomedical fields at the resolution of cell molecules and tissue imaging pixels. Quantifying and interpreting these signatures from omics profiling face data challenges such as heterogeneities, noise/errors, large volume, context complexities, etc. Our lab ((Use the "Apply for this Job" box below).) in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics focuses on developing statistical and AI methods to analyze, annotate and integrate complex omics datasets.

We build open-source software to ease data analysis across omics modalities. Our ongoing work addresses questions including heterogeneity removal in genomic sequencing data, enhancer function dissection with large epigenomic data modeling, and DNA oncovirus mechanisms with cross-modality integration. We are expanding research topics including statistical modeling in spatial omics; AI models in translational pathology; and AI modeling of clonal hematopoiesis evolution.

We are committed to understanding human diseases like cancers through data science innovations. We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in AI for omics to contribute to these topics.

• Highly motivated and passionate about biomedical data science
• Strong background in deep learning and/or foundation models
• Proficient programming and scientific writing
• Experience in omics data processing
• A Ph.D. in Computer Science, Bioinformatics, Biostatistics or a related field

Applicants should send a cover letter, a brief personal statement, current CV and contact information of three references to Dr. Mingxiang Teng (mingxiang.teng)
