The
Atomic Lab, led by Prof. Adriana Tomic, is at the forefront of systems
immunology research, focusing on the development and application of AI
computational tools to understand and manipulate the human immune
system. Central to our efforts are the
PANDORA (Pan-Dimensional Omics and Research Analysis) and
SIMON platforms.
PANDORA is a cutting-edge, web-based tool designed for the integration,
analysis, and visualization of a wide array of biological data types.
It supports a variety of use cases, from infection marker identification
and gut bacteria-cancer connections to drug discovery and personalized
medicine, employing advanced machine learning models like clustering,
heatmap generation, t-SNE, UMAP, and more. SIMON, an automated machine
learning system, has been instrumental in uncovering immune signatures
of
influenza vaccine responses and
predicting the durability of COVID-19 immunity.
We
are seeking a postdoctoral fellow with a strong background in data
science and bioinformatics to contribute to our ongoing projects. This
individual will play a crucial role in utilizing AI and data-driven
methodologies for analyzing human immune responses, predicting disease
outcomes, and identifying preventive measures against infectious
diseases.
Responsibilities:
Leading
the development and application of innovative AI tools for the
identification of new correlates of protection against various vaccines
and infectious diseases.
Managing
the collection, processing, integration, and standardization of
large-scale datasets, and building comprehensive databases.
Conducting
detailed integrative and exploratory analyses of multi-omics datasets,
applying advanced machine learning techniques to decipher complex immune
responses.
Profile:
Ph.D.
in computational biology, systems biology/immunology, bioinformatics,
or a related field, with demonstrated experience in omics data analysis
and a proven publication record.
Proficiency
in programming in R and Python, with extensive experience in data
analysis, including the use of machine learning and AI technologies.
Familiarity
with Linux, Git, Docker, PHP, MySQL, MongoDB, and other programming
languages like JavaScript, HTML, CSS is desirable.
Strong
communication skills, evidenced by oral presentations at
internationally recognized conferences and a solid understanding of
immunology.
A highly collaborative spirit, with the ability to work independently as well as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply by sending the following documents to Prof. Adriana Tomic at
atomic [at] bu.edu:
CV
List of publications, highlighting your contributions to each
Link to your GitHub profile (if available)
Cover letter explaining how you meet the selection criteria and your motivation for applying
Three letters of recommendation
This
opportunity not only offers the chance to contribute to groundbreaking
research but also to be part of a vibrant, collaborative community
dedicated to advancing our understanding of the immune system through
computational innovation.
Best regards,
Adriana
