About this position

Postdoctoral Fellow opportunity in prostate cancer, computational biology, multi-omics, and bioinformatics at the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, United States.

The position is in the Genitourinary Malignancies Branch / Prostate Cancer Genetics Section in the laboratory of Adam Sowalsky, Ph.D.. The lab focuses on identifying molecular characteristics of prostate cancer patients, validating biomarkers, studying treatment response and resistance, and translating discoveries into clinical trials at the NIH Clinical Center.

Research topics include analysis of single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, whole-genome sequencing, epigenomic analyses, tumor evolution, and cancer cell–microenvironment interactions. Applicants will gain experience working with human specimens, clinically annotated datasets, and high-performance computing resources.

Eligibility highlights: applicants should have an M.D. and/or Ph.D. in biochemistry, biology, genetics, computational biology, biostatistics, computer science, or a related field, or be close to completing degree requirements. Experience with NGS analysis, statistical computing, and/or machine learning in cancer biology is preferred. Candidates should have no more than one year of postdoctoral research experience. U.S. citizenship or permanent residency is not required.

Funding: the position is stable and fully supported, with a competitive postdoctoral stipend starting at $67,200, family health insurance, and possible supplemental allowances for candidates with terminal degrees in computational biology, computer science, or biostatistics.

How to apply: submit a CV/resume, cover letter, and other requested materials. Also email PDF copies of your two most important publications or preprints to [email protected].
