  • Prior experience successfully securing external grant funding is highly desirable.
  • Strong experience analyzing bulk and single-cell RNA-seq and epigenomic data
  • Proficiency in R, including common single-cell analysis frameworks
  • Experience working with large-scale genomic datasets and high-performance computing environments
  • Strong statistical background and data visualization skills
  • Experience analyzing DNA methylation data (e.g., array-based or sequencing-based approaches)
  • Experience analyzing long-read RNA sequencing datasets
  • Demonstrated use of machine learning/AI methods for genomic data integration or prediction
  • Familiarity with cloud-based workflows and reproducible pipeline development
  • Track record of publications in peer-reviewed journals
