Ruth Ashery-Padan

Fully funded PhD opportunity at Tel Aviv University in ocular genomics, stem cells, computational biology, bioinformatics, and multi-omics . The project is a collaborative effort across the Sagol School of Neuroscience , the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences , and the Edmond J. Safra Center for Bioinformatics . The research aims to uncover the non-coding genetic architecture and regulatory mechanisms underlying complex diseases that cause blindness. The successful PhD candidate will work across two complementary environments: the Ashery-Padan Lab for wet-lab work, where high-resolution multi-omics data will be generated using advanced molecular tools and stem cell models; and the Elkon Lab for dry-lab work, where bioinformatics pipelines, network analyses, and computational models will be developed and applied. This position is designed for a highly motivated researcher who wants to build expertise at the interface of biology and data science . The post specifically welcomes applicants with an excellent MSc degree in Life Sciences, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Biotechnology , or a related field. Direct PhD track and MD-PhD candidates are encouraged to apply. Programming experience in R or Python is a strong advantage, and a proactive willingness to learn computational and bioinformatics tools is required. The post states that the position is fully funded . No deadline is mentioned in the post. To apply, send a CV and a brief cover letter describing your interest and relevant background to Prof. Ruth Ashery-Padan at [email protected] .
