Chan School of Public Health \nDepartment/Area    Biostatistics\n\n\nPosition Description    \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.\n\n\nBasic Qualifications    \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.  \n\n\nContact Information    \nJeremy Wilkinson\n\n\nContact Email    <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"mailto:jewilkinson@hsph.harvard.edu\" rel=\"no-follow\">jewilkinson@hsph.harvard.edu</a>\n\nEqual Opportunity Employer    \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.\n\n\nMinimum Number of References Required    2 \nMaximum Number of References Allowed    4 \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":"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.&nbsp;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.&nbsp;The private Ivy League institution has connections to more than 45 Nobel laureates, over 30 heads of state and 48 Pulitzer prizewinners. It has more than 323,000 living alumni, including over 271,000 in the US and nearly 52,000 in 201 other countries. Thirteen US presidents have honorary degrees from the institution; the most recent of these was awarded to John F. Kennedy in 1956.&nbsp;Faculty members who have been awarded a Nobel prize in recent years include chemist Martin Karplus and economist Alvin Roth, while notable alumni who were given the honour include former US vice-president Al Gore, who won the Peace Prize in 2007, and poet Seamus Heaney, who was a professor at Harvard from 1981 to 1997.&nbsp;Situated in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Harvard’s 5,000-acre campus houses 12 degree-granting schools in addition to the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, two theatres and five museums. It is also home to the largest academic library in the world, with 20.4 million volumes, 180,000 serial titles, an estimated 400 million manuscript items, 10 million photographs, 124 million archived web pages and 5.4 terabytes of born-digital archives and manuscripts.&nbsp;There are more than 400 student organisations on campus, and Harvard’s medical school is connected to 10 hospitals.&nbsp;The university receives one of the largest financial endowments of any higher education institution in the world; it created $1.5 billion in the fiscal year ended June 2013 – more than a third of Harvard’s total operating revenue in that year.&nbsp;Harvard’s official colour is crimson, following a vote in 1910, after two student rowers provided crimson scarves to their teammates so that spectators could differentiate the university’s team during a regatta in 1858.","logoImg":"","logoImgSquare":"https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/jobs.ac.kr/dev/images/다운로드 (22)_1244644744420.png","homepageUrl":"https://www.harvard.edu/","infoUrl":"https://www.timeshighereducation.com/world-university-rankings/harvard-university","country":"US","state":"","location":"북아메리카","address":"Massachusetts Hall, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02138, United States","phoneNumber":"","faxNumber":"","type":1,"univType1":"대학","univType2":"대학교","univType3":"","univType4":"본교","establishedAt":"1636-11-29T00:00:00.000Z","count_majors":null,"count_students":null,"meta_competitiveness":"","publishState":1,"updatedAt":"2020-03-09T15:50:13.000Z","createdAt":"2020-03-04T20:13:07.000Z","default_1_bannerImage":null,"default_1_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_2_bannerImage":null,"default_2_bannerImageMobile":null,"default_3_bannerImage":null,"default_3_bannerImageMobile":null}}
