Research Associate - Computational Immunology

Job description

The USC Mann School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Titus Department of Clinical Pharmacy, is seeking a Research Associate, Computational Immunology, to develop, implement, and apply advanced computational methods for immune-focused genomic and multi-omics analyses. This role will lead the design of scalable analysis pipelines, creation of robust software tools, and integrative interpretation of large, complex datasets (e.g., RNA-seq, TCR/BCR repertoire sequencing, single-cell multi-omics, proteomics, epigenomics). The successful candidate will partner closely with experimental and clinical teams to translate computational insights into actionable biological hypotheses and high-impact manuscripts and grant applications. Key Responsibilities: Minimum Qualifications (One of the following) - Method and tool development - Design, develop, test, and maintain computational tools for genomic and immunogenomic analyses (e.g., repertoire inference, clonotype tracking, antigen-receptor diversity metrics, cell-state modeling, and immune microenvironment profiling). - Build and maintain reproducible, modular pipelines for high-throughput analyses using best practices in software engin...
