About this position

Harvard Medical School’s Perrimon Lab is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Genetics to work at the intersection of bioinformatics, genetics, multi-omics, and computational biology. The role is based in the Program of Genetics and involves close collaboration with the DRSC/TRiP functional genomics core and a multidisciplinary team of biologists, software engineers, and bioinformaticians.

The position focuses on designing and implementing reusable analysis pipelines for RNA-seq, single-cell RNA-seq, genomics, proteomics, and related multi-omics datasets. The fellow will also develop novel algorithms, data visualization tools, custom databases, web portals, and pipelines for managing raw and processed experimental data. The work includes applying computational, statistical, and AI/ML approaches to uncover biological insights and support functional discovery.

Applicants should hold a doctoral degree in bioinformatics or in biology with extensive omics analysis experience. Strong programming, algorithms, statistics, Unix, and compute-cluster skills are important, with preferred experience in genome alignment tools, scripting languages, SQL, relational databases, and web programming.

This is a salaried, benefits-eligible postdoctoral appointment. Salary depends on years post-PhD, and Harvard notes that visa sponsorship is discretionary. The posting lists three references required and directs applicants to the Harvard Academic Positions portal.

Institution: Harvard Medical School. Contact: Claire Yanhui Hu ([email protected]).
