Stanford University is seeking a Computational Biologist/Research Data Analyst 2 to apply sophisticated computational methods to genomic and proteomic datasets in human disease.
About the Department of Pathology
Comprised of extraordinary faculty and staff, our mission is to improve the ability to diagnose, treat and understand the origin and manifestation of human disease, and to care for those who have or are at risk to develop disease. We accomplish this through our clinical services and research which includes basic, translational and clinical research into the origins and manifestations of disease, including efforts to improve disease prediction and prevention as part of the goal of achieving precision medicine and health.

School of Medicine employees who are patient-facing, work in, or frequent clinical and hospital areas for work purposes are considered as healthcare workers. This position is considered a healthcare worker and will need to comply with the Stanford Health Care COVID 19 vaccination requirements.
About the Lab:
Based within the Department of Pathology at Stanford University, the Gentles lab is seeking a Computational Biologist/Research Data Analyst 2 to join the group and contribute to projects related to human disease. We are using advanced computational and experimental techniques to identify biomarkers for cancer therapy, as well as to study basic questions in cancer biology related to identifying novel avenues for therapy, particularly immunotherapies. We view computational methods as tools for understanding biology and disease, and are motivated by the scientific questions that arise in complex systems. We are part of the NCI’s Cancer Systems Biology Consortium, as well as related efforts at Stanford around interdisciplinary approaches to biological and clinical questions. This position is available immediately, though start date is flexible.
About the Position:
The successful candidate will be part of a team developing and applying new methods and resources for cancer diagnosis and prognosis, as well as analyzing underlying mechanisms driving cancer behavior and patient outcomes. They will analyze complex genomic and proteomic datasets from patient cohorts, including bulk and single cell RNAseq, exome/genome sequencing data; as well as new high content imaging platforms such as CODEX, MIBI, CosMX, and Visium spatial transcriptomics. This opening for a computational biologist offers opportunities for career contributing to exciting projects at the forefront of applying new molecular technologies to human disease. Our recent work includes developing resources and tools such as PRECOG and EcoTyper (Luca/Steen et al, Cell 2021). We also have ongoing projects in other areas such as neurodegenerative disease.
