A successful candidate with work with their mentor to adopt, develop, and apply gene regulatory network inference methods to several bulk/single-cell expression of both static and dynamic varieties following genetic / pharmacological perturbation. In particular, the goal will be to evaluate and identify a standard experimental and computational strategy for unravelling the signaling circuit of disease-associated transcriptional regulatory factors towards ultimately identifying critical biomarkers to inform patient selection. Throughout this process, the candidate will not only have the opportunity of working with large-scale multi-omics datasets, they will also be able to learn about key decisions driving precision drug discovery as well as gain first-hand experience balancing independent and collaborative research in an industry R&D setting.Key Responsibilities

• Implement published gene regulatory network inference methods as pipelines
• Benchmark experimental/computational method/parameters for mechanism deconvolution
• Identify optimal setup based on biological relevance in the context of patient dataQualifications & Experience
  • Experience in programming with Python or R as well as common statistical modelling / machine learning frameworks in the corresponding language
  • Familiarity with networks analysis / systems biology methods as applied to multi-omics data (e.g., transcriptomics / proteomics)
  • Currently enrolled in a MS/PhD program in computer science, bioinformatics, statistics, physics, or a similar field
  • Must be able to work full-time for the program duration
  • Excellent verbal and communication skillsThe starting compensation for this job is a range from $21.00/hour - $35.00/hour.
