JOB DESCRIPTION:

Postdoctoral Scholar in Translational Bioinformatics for Precision Cancer Medicine at Stanford University

We are looking for a highly motivated postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University School of Medicine. The major focus of the NIH-funded lab is to develop, validate, and clinically translate diagnostic, prognostic, predictive biomarkers for precision cancer medicine. We integrate datasets of large patient populations and develop novel statistical and machine learning methods. Through close collaboration with clinicians at Stanford and beyond, we have access to unique, high-quality, well-annotated clinical specimens to support our biomarker research. Our lab is generously funded by 3 active NIH R01 grants. Our work has been published in top clinical journals such as JAMA Oncology, Clinical Cancer Research, Radiology, etc. Please visit http://med.stanford.edu/lilab

Candidates from a diverse background are encouraged to apply. The applicant may hold a PhD either in physical sciences or engineering with a strong motivation to solve biomedical problems, or in biomedical  sciences with a strong interest to apply computational approaches. The project involves the integration of diverse types of high-throughput molecular data for developing diagnostic, prognostic, and/or predictive biomarkers for precision oncology. The ideal candidates will have strong analytic and programming skills, as well as prior research experience in cancer genomics, epigenomics, or transcriptomics. Knowledge in molecular biology and tumor immunology, or experience with single-cell gene expression analysis, multi-omic data integration and/or network analysis is strongly preferred.

I am dedicated to cultivating and mentoring the next generation scientists in biomedical research. Postdocs and students in the lab have gone on to establish their own independent labs in academia or secure jobs in technology industry. Major awards to my postdoc trainees include ASTRO Resident Clinical/Basic Science Research Award, ASTRO Basic/Translational Science Award, and RSNA Introduction to Academic Radiology for Scientists. ASTRO and RSNA are the world’s largest professional society for radiation oncologists and radiologists, respectively. One of my postdocs received the prestigious NIH K99/R00 Pathway to Independence Award from the NCI, which provides $1,000,000 over 5 years to establish an independent research program. He has recently secured a tenure-track faculty position at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Stanford University is located at the heart of Silicon Valley, epicenter of the technology revolution in biomedicine. This is an excellent opportunity not only for those motivated to pursue an academic career, but also for those interested in entrepreneurship with the goal of commercialization and translation of new technology into clinical practice.

Interested applicants should send a research statement, CV, and names of three references to:
