The Research Assistant - Computational Scientist supports research efforts in Dr. Amy Ryan's laboratory, which studies lung regeneration and the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying mucociliary clearance. Under general supervision the position will provide comprehensive computational and data science support across all laboratory projects, with a primary focus on advanced analysis of high-dimensional biological datasets, including bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing, epigenomics, proteomics, and multimodal data integration. This role involves the development, implementation, and maintenance of computational pipelines; application of statistical and machine learning methodologies; and generation of integrative models of mucociliary function in lung health and disease. The Research Assistant collaborates closely with experimental scientists, trainees, and collaborators, contributing to study design, data interpretation,...
