Cedars-Sinai hiring Computational Postdoctoral Scientist – Knott Lab – Bioinformatics & Functional Genomics in Los Angeles, California, United States

Principal Investigator, Simon Knott, PhD is looking for a Postdoctoral Scientist to join the team!The Cedars-Sinai Center for Bioinformatics and Functional Genomics (CBFG) is an integrated, interdisciplinary research group with the common goal of developing end-to-end research workflows for genomic and high-throughput functional analysis of patient samples. The primary goals of the CBFG are to establish a research nexus that integrates leading-edge developments in computational sciences, next-generation genomics and epigenomics, and to use functional biology to improve our understanding of disease etiology applied to personalized health.

The Knott laboratory at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California is searching for a computational postdoctoral scientist to develop and apply tools for digital histopathology. This scientist will lead the data analyses portion of our studies of breast cancer clinical trial materials, where we are studying the cellular relationships and the spatial distributions of distinct cell types within tumors that impact the course of the disease. One of our favored spatial profiling tools it the Co-detection by Indexing (CODEX) platform housed within our laboratory. However, we also utilize other spatial profiling methodologies paired with traditional single cell sequencing to study tissues. To learn more, please visit: Knott Research Lab | Cedars-Sinai.
