PhD, Master’s & Postdoc Opportunities in Bioinformatics in United States

Baylor University’s Department of Biology is recruiting 2–3 funded PhD students for a Fall 2027 start. The research focuses on microbiomes and the ways microbial communities influence health, organisms, and environments. The group uses long-read metagenomics, microbial genomics, and bioinformatics to study diverse biological systems. Projects may address the relationship between microbiomes and childhood undernutrition, fish mucosal microbial ecology, and microbial communities in the built envir...

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to join Dr. Pritam Mukherjee's lab in AI for medical imaging and biomedical informatics. The research focuses primarily on radiology and applies machine learning, deep learning, and foundational AI models to clinically relevant imaging problems. The postdoctoral researcher will develop 2D and 3D architectures, including convolutional neural networks, transformers, and vision-language or other foundation models. Pr...

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is recruiting two Postdoctoral Associates for the Feng Laboratory in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Rutgers Cancer Institute, part of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences in New Brunswick, New Jersey. The Feng Lab investigates the development and progression of cancer, with particular emphasis on cancer metastasis, metabolic reprogramming, and the tumor microenvironment. Research projects examine the regulation and function of the tumor...
