School | Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health |
Department/Area | MIPS/Environmental Health |
Position Description | The Haber Lab in the Department of Environmental Health at Harvard University has openings for highly motivated postdocs to develop and apply novel computational approaches for next generation sequencing data analysis, particularly single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and related approaches. Our research group uses single-cell genomics to study immunity at mucosal sites, with a focus on the lungs and particularly mechanisms of asthma. Past work has focused on discovering new cell types in the lungs (Nature, 2018), single-cell genomics of the small intestine (Nature, 2017), and using single-cell methods to describe how the mucosal immune system regulates epithelial stem cells (Cell, 2018). The successful candidate(s) will join an interdisciplinary team spanning several institutions, including the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Brigham & Women’s Hospital, and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Projects in the lab aim to discover new aspects of lung physiology in health and disease using computational and systems biology approaches to analysis of single-cell RNA-sequencing data. These datasets derive from samples of human lungs, and also from mouse models of airway injury, inflammation and regeneration, and aim in particular to examine the impact of environmental exposures – such as air pollution, and allergens – on the lungs’ airways. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with clinical pulmonologists and immunologists to study the molecular mechanisms that underly airway tissue homeostasis and asthma pathogenesis. In addition, our group aims to develop new computational algorithms to examine cellular communication between the lungs and the local immune system, define pathways that are aberrant in disease, and discover new possible therapies. Fellows will be encouraged to take advantage of the rich and varied training and career development opportunities offered at HSPH. |
Basic Qualifications | · PhD or equivalent in computational biology, computer science, epidemiology, statistics, mathematics, or other quantitative field. · Candidates holding a degree in biological/medical science are also welcome to apply if they have strong background in computational or statistical work. |
