Position Description
We invite applicants for a postdoctoral fellow position in Chirag Patel’s group at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts. The exposome is a promising and emerging modality to explain disease variation (papers in press in Nature Medicine) that impacts humans on all levels: from the single cell to populations, providing a rich substrate to do novel work. We welcome applications from recent PhD graduates with experience in developing approaches to analyze large multi-modal datasets and/or who wish to deploy the next generation of exposome AI models. These positions come with data ready to analyze: the candidate can focus on developing research findings and writing papers from day 1.

The successful candidate will work with Chirag Patel’s group to produce highly impactful biomedical informatics research that presents new innovations in methods and novel findings that inform disease etiology. The candidate should be interested in focusing on multi-omic integration analytics, machine learning, and/or AI. In addition to carrying out research, the successful candidate will be expected to apply for fellowship funding, contribute to the writing of grants and manuscripts, participate in teaching and mentoring of lab members as needed, and otherwise contribute to overall lab operations and collaborative environment.
