Chan School of Public Health<br/>\nDepartment/Area Biostatistics</strong></p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Position Description </strong> \nThe Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Microbiome Analysis Core is seeking a postdoctoral fellow for microbiome epidemiology and bioinformatics. The Microbiome Analysis Core, located in the Department of Biostatistics, supports a comprehensive computational and statistical platform for population studies of the human microbiome, its interaction with health and disease, and methods for data mining and machine learning in multi-omic data. This job will entail work with the Microbiome Analysis Core personnel applying and extending microbiome informatics and statistical methods, developed in the Huttenhower lab (e.g. MetaPhlAn, HUMAnN) as well as standards in the field (DADA2, MEGAHIT), to new human microbiome profiles, including microbial communities assayed in disease, animal models, cross-sectional and prospective human cohorts, and associated clinical phenotypes and/or environmental/lifestyle exposure metadata. These studies generally have the goal of identifying features of the microbiome (16S amplicon, shotgun metagenomic, and shotgun metatranscriptomic sequencing, yielding taxa, gene families, enzymes, and/or pathways) associated with various phenotypes, exposures, and/or outcomes. There will be regular interactions with internal and external contacts, including scientists, collaborators, postdocs, students, and clinicians and industry leaders. Optional mentoring and/or teaching opportunities include lab PhD or Masters students, junior researchers, public guest lectures, and short course workshops.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Basic Qualifications </strong> \nDoctoral degree in Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Computational Biology, Molecular Biology, Biology/Life Sciences, or related fields.\nProficiency in R programming and Linux/Unix command line required.\nPreference given to candidates with experience in microbiome analysis, ordination and cluster analysis, sequence analysis, intermediate R programming, Python programming, a background in biostatistics, and computing clusters (e.g. Slurm).\nExcellence in research, communication, and collaboration skills, as evidenced by publication record.\nAbility to handle a variety of tasks, effectively solve problems with numerous and complex variables, and rapidly shift priorities.\nExcellent attention to detail is required. </p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact Information </strong> \nJeremy Wilkinson</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Contact Email </strong> <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:jewilkinson@hsph.harvard.edu\" rel=\"no-follow\">jewilkinson@hsph.harvard.edu</a>\n\n<strong>Equal Opportunity Employer </strong>\nWe are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions or any other characteristic protected by law.</p>\n\n\n<p><strong>Minimum Number of References Required </strong>2 \n<strong>Maximum Number of References Allowed </strong>4 </p>\n\n\n","pdfUrl1":null,"location":"Cambridge, Massachusetts (US)","location1":"북아메리카","location2":null,"location3":null,"type":"2","applyUrl":"https://academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/9794","fileUrl1":null,"fileUrl2":null,"fileUrl3":null,"fileUrl4":null,"fileUrl5":null,"fileUrl6":null,"fileUrl7":null,"workingHour":"Full Time","contractType":"Fixed Term","salary":null,"original_id":"UNI|229602","original_domain":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs","original_url":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/unijobs/listing/229602/postdoctoral-fellow-for-microbiome-epidemiology-and-bioinformatics-/?LinkSource=PremiumListing","original_isPremium":"true","closeType":2,"closedAt":null,"requireEducation":0,"managerTel":null,"managerFax":null,"managerEmail":"jewilkinson@hsph.harvard.edu","managerName":"HARVARD UNIVERSITY","managerPhone":null,"managerAddress":null,"log_hit":2,"log_like":0,"publishState":1,"organizationName":null,"organizationName_en":null,"organizationName_alt":null,"createdAt":"2020-10-14T00:00:00.000Z","updatedAt":"2020-10-15T10:10:53.000Z"},"organization":{"organizationId":465,"lv1Id":null,"lv2Id":null,"name":"Harvard University","name_en":"Harvard University","name_alt":null,"introduction":"<p>Dating back to 1636, Harvard University is the oldest university in the US and is regarded as one of the most prestigious in the world.</p><p> </p><p>It was named after its first benefactor, John Harvard, who left his library and half his estate to the institution when he died in 1638.</p><p> </p><p>The private Ivy League institution has connections to more than 45 Nobel laureates, over 30 heads of state and 48 Pulitzer prizewinners.
