School: Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health
Department/Area: Biostatistics
Position Description:
The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Microbiome Analysis Core is seeking a data analyst, either MSc or PhD level, for microbiome epidemiology and bioinformatics. The Microbiome Analysis Core, located in the Department of Biostatistics, supports a comprehensive computational and statistical platform for population studies of the human microbiome, its interaction with health and disease, and methods for data mining and machine learning in multi-omic data. This job will entail work with the Microbiome Analysis Core personnel applying and extending microbiome informatics and statistical methods, developed in the Huttenhower lab (e.g. MetaPhlAn, HUMAnN) as well as standards in the field (e.g. DADA2), to human microbiome profiles, including microbial communities assayed in disease, animal models, cross-sectional and prospective human cohorts, and associated clinical phenotypes and/or environmental/lifestyle exposure metadata. These studies generally have the goal of identifying features of the microbiome (16S amplicon, shotgun metagenomic, and shotgun metatranscriptomic sequencing, yielding taxa, gene families, enzymes, and/or pathways) associated with various phenotypes, exposures, and/or outcomes. There will be regular interactions with internal and external contacts, including scientists, collaborators, postdocs, students, and clinicians and industry leaders.
