Post-Doctoral Fellow (Computational Biology) – Srivastava Lab

Job description

The Wistar Institute has an opening for a Computational Biology Post-Doctoral Fellow to join the laboratory of Dr. Avi Srivastava. The Srivastava Lab is a hybrid computational-experimental group that develops and applies cutting-edge single-cell genomics technologies to address fundamental questions in RNA biology and cancer. Our work spans the full arc from novel method development, including microfluidics-free single-cell long-read RNA sequencing platforms, to biological discovery using multi-omics approaches at single-cell resolution. We are seeking a highly motivated computational biologist with meaningful wet-lab experience (or a wet-lab scientist with strong computational skills) who is excited to work at this interface. The ideal candidate will contribute to projects involving the development of single-cell long-read sequencing methods, isoform-level transcriptomics, and multi-omics data integration in disease-relevant contexts. The lab offers mentored training in: Candidates with a Ph.D. (or equivalent) in computational biology, genomics, molecular biology, or a related field are encouraged to apply. Hands-on experience with both computational analysis (e.g., single-cell RN...
