About this position

This CDC fellowship offers mentor-guided training in respiratory virus genomics, bioinformatics, data science, and scientific computing within the Coronavirus and Other Respiratory Viruses Division at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia.

The fellow will work with genomic and laboratory data to strengthen respiratory virus surveillance, improve analytical reporting, and develop practical tools and infrastructure for laboratory scientists. The project environment is highly interdisciplinary, bringing together bioinformaticians, laboratorians, epidemiologists, data scientists, and other public health professionals.

Research activities may include analysis of respiratory virus sequence data and surveillance metadata, preparation of routine and ad hoc genomic surveillance reports, and summarizing lineage, clade, variant, mutation, temporal, and geographic trends. The fellow may also develop reproducible workflows for sequence quality control, genome assembly, variant identification, lineage assignment, and phylogenetic analysis.

Additional work may involve automating tables, figures, visualizations, and quality-control summaries; integrating genomic, laboratory, and epidemiologic data from multiple sources; developing or improving databases and analytical infrastructure; exploring distributed data-processing technologies; and building dashboards and applications for laboratory users. The opportunity also includes creating scripts, APIs, and other tools, testing and maintaining analytical pipelines, evaluating emerging bioinformatics tools and methods, and contributing to scientific presentations, technical documentation, posters, and manuscripts.

Projects are developed jointly by the mentor and fellow and may focus on automated genomic surveillance reporting, emerging variant analysis, laboratory dashboards, tools for querying and visualizing surveillance data, modernization of genomic databases, or scalable bioinformatics workflows for respiratory virus genomics.

The fellowship is mentored by Clint Paden at CDC and is embedded in a public health laboratory setting focused on respiratory virus genomics and surveillance.

Funding details

Monthly stipend range of $5,439 to $6,581; appointment initially for 1 year, renewable subject to recommendation and availability of funds.
