Join Us!
The projects in our lab are centered around primary patient samples or pre-clinical modeling and are highly trans-disciplinary. They are situated at the interface of functional (single-cell) multi-omics, computational biology and (spatial) imaging to better understand the principles that steer changes in complex multicellular tissues. You will be working together with experts in these fields and will have the opportunity to be trained in one or more fields to become a well-rounded researcher. You will be involved in determining the important and interesting questions, creating and improving technological setups, performing experiments, and/or analyzing obtained datasets.
Since our lab atmosphere is highly collaborative we particularly encourage applications from individuals that have an open mind and work well in a team setting. Each person will have the opportunity to be the chief of their own project(s), but will be asked to give and take advice in a positive and constructive manner.
Current Openings
Postdoctoral Fellow(s) in Spatial biology & software engineering
We are looking for a postdoctoral fellow to work on spatial omics and drive the development of spatial data analysis software within Giotto Suite. You will analyze large-scale spatial datasets, develop new computational methods, and bridge computational and wet lab approaches. We are looking for candidates with a Ph.D. in computational biology, bioinformatics, computer science, or a related field and strong programming skills (e.g. R, Python, Rust, C++).
Please apply through the official Boston Medical Center job posting. Feel free to reach out to Ruben directly with any questions or to share your research statement.
Graduate Students
If you are a interested to join our lab as a graduate (Ph.D.) student then you need to be accepted in a Boston University (BU) Graduate Program. Depending on your background and interests the following programs might apply:
-
Bioinformatics: https://www.bu.edu/bioinformatics/admissions/programs/phd/
-
Computing and data sciences: https://www.bu.edu/cds-faculty/programs-admissions/phd-degree/
Master Students
We have several summer internship opportunities through the Bioinformatics Masters Summer Immersion Program from BU. Please see https://sites.bu.edu/bmsip/ for more information.
Undergraduate position in Biomedical Software Development (UROP)
We currently have one open position as part of the Undergraduate Research Positions (UROP) program.
Other future opportunities will also be shared on https://www.bu.edu/urop/opportunities/. If you have ideas that align with the interest and expertise of our lab then please reach out and talk to us.
