Postdoctoral Research Associate : Computational Biology (Fixed Term)

at  University of Cambridge

Applications are invited for a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the lab of Dr. Heather Machado in the Department of Pathology, University of Cambridge. The Machado Lab is interested in how tumour and immune cells co-evolve and contribute to cancer progression. Methods of evolutionary genetics and multiomic datasets are used to study key questions in cancer immunology, such as the timing of the immune response to cancer, the role of inflammation on remodeling the immune response to cancer and the somatic evolution of the immune response to immunotherapy.

The Machado Lab is looking for a Computational Biologist/Genomicist to leverage single-cell genomic and transcriptomic datasets to understand the somatic evolution of the T cell response to cancer. The successful applicant should:

• Hold a relevant PhD Qualification
• Experience in analysing genomic and/or multiomic datasets
• Excellent oral and written communication skills
• Able to manage time effectively
• Good at working independently
• Enthusiastic to interact with colleagues in a multi-disciplinary and collaborative environment
