About the role

  • Collaborate with SEA-AD and SEA-AD IAC members and outside investigators to ensure community multiomic datasets are re-processed, their metadata is harmonized, and relevant secondary data types are obtained (e.g. whole genome sequencing, nuclear imaging, or blood based biomarkers)
  • Adapt existing or develop novel computational tools to rigorously quantify changes in cell types in Alzheimers disease across community datasets
  • Associate gene expression and chromatin accessibility changes with relevant and available donor metadata or secondary data types
  • Compare cell type changes across disease progression between studies regions to identify common early changes that may inform biomarkers
  • Interact with scientists from diverse backgrounds and perspectives to design analytical approaches and refine computational strategies
  • Work with experimental scientists to design experiments to validate predictions of disease function
  • Participate in a highly interactive and multidisciplinary environment
  • Publish and present findings in peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences

Requirements

  • Ph.D. in Neuroscience, Computational Neuroscience, Computer Science, Applied Math, or related field; or equivalent combination of degree and experience
  • Fluency programming in Python in high performance computing
  • Fluency with version control systems (e.g. Git/Github)
  • Familiarity with analysis of RNA-sequencing or related data types
  • Experience with modeling disease or developmental trajectories, or related computational studies (preferred)
  • Additional experience in computational analysis and statistical assessment of biological datasets in other modalities such as spatial statistics, ATAC-seq analysis, computational anatomy, or related fields (preferred)
  • Previous work on studying Alzheimers disease or other neurodegenerative diseases (preferred)
  • Familiarity with additional programming languages (e.g., R) (preferred)
  • Experience with GPU-based deep learning (preferred)
  • Ability to work effectively in a highly collaborative environment
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
