Our lab is pioneering the development of multi-species single-cell atlases and building foundation models for the kidney and beyond. We seek a highly motivated and creative individual with expertise in machine learning, deep learning, or computational genomics to join our multidisciplinary team. The successful candidate will develop and apply novel algorithms, including transformer-based foundation models, to interpret large-scale single-cell and spatial transcriptomics datasets in both health and disease.

What we offer:

Access to one of the largest, best-annotated human and rodent kidney single-cell atlases Integration of genomic, epigenomic, spatial, and clinical datasets A collaborative environment with leading experts in nephrology, systems biology, and AI Opportunities to publish in high-impact journals and present at international conferences

Qualifications:

PhD in computer science, bioinformatics, computational biology, or related fields Strong programming skills (Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, R) Experience with AI/ML, large-scale omics, or foundation model development Prior work in single-cell or spatial transcriptomics is a plus but not required

Location:

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA (in-person position) Start date: Flexible; positions available immediately To apply, please send your CV, a brief cover letter, and contact information for 2-3 references to [email protected] . Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Join us to push the boundaries of AI in biology and help build the next generation of diagnostics and therapeutics through computational innovation.
