What are the responsibilities and job description for the APPLIED POST DOC FELLOW position at Moffitt Cancer Center?
Summary
About the Lab
Omics techniques emerged as efficient and comprehensive approaches to profile bio-signatures in many biomedical fields at the resolution of cell molecules and tissue imaging pixels. Quantifying and interpreting these signatures from omics profiling face data challenges such as heterogeneities, noise/errors, large volume, context complexities, etc. Our lab (https://lab.moffitt.org/teng) in the Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics focus on developing statistical and AI methods to analyze, annotate and integrate complex omics datasets. We build open-source software to ease the data analysis across omics modalities. Particularly, our ongoing work in the lab addresses questions including: heterogeneity removal in genomic sequencing data, enhancer function dissection with large epigenomic data modeling, DNA oncovirus mechanisms with cross-modality integration, etc. Beyond ongoing focuses, we are also expanding the research in other topics: statistical modeling in spatial omics; AI models in translational pathology; AI modeling of clonal hematopoiesis evolution, etc. We are commited to understanding human diseases like cancers through data science innovations. We are looking for a Postdoctoral Fellow in AI for omics to contribute to any of the topics above.
Ideal Postdoc Candidate
Benefits
Moffitt Postdoctoral Fellows receive a competitive salary along with comprehensive benefits, including free medical coverage for themselves and subsidized coverage for dependents. Additional benefits include dental and vision insurance, paid time off, retirement plans, parental leave, and more. Eligible fellows may also receive relocation assistance in accordance with Moffitt’s policy.
City
Aside from the sunshine, beaches and year-round outdoor recreation associated with the Gulf Coast of Florida, Tampa is a thriving metropolitan city, which has become a hub for ground-breaking research, welcoming individuals from around the globe. This city is engulfed with rich culture, year-round activities for all, beautiful beaches, amazing cuisine and so much more.
