Scientific Job Opportunities

This is an open position in the Lowance Center for Human Immunology at Emory University School of Medicine. The candidate will join our multi-disciplinary team of researchers, including bioinformaticians, immunologists, and physician-scientists. This position is not dependent on future federal funding.

The Project: The candidate will lead projects on human immunology recently funded by the Gates Foundation and the National Institutes of Health in the Ghosn Lab. The candidate will work directly with scientists generating in-house multi-omics single-cell datasets to facilitate troubleshooting and bench validation. Most datasets include single-cell RNA sequencing, Antibody sequencing, and V(D)J repertoire sequencing of human B cells and plasma cells using the 10x Genomics Platform. In addition, we generate high-dimensional (30+ parameter) flow cytometry datasets. The candidate will integrate different OMIC modalities and help create new tools to analyze multi-omics datasets, including our recently-developed SuPERR (Xu C, Yang J et al., Comprehensive multi-omics single-cell data integration reveals greater heterogeneity in the human immune system. iScience, 2022), and APP (Simpson et al., Lifting the curse from high dimensional data: Automated projection pursuit clustering for the variety of biological data modalities. bioRvix, 2024) pipelines. More details about the scientific questions will be provided during the interview process. Please send your CV, names of three references, and a brief statement on why you are interested in our work to Dr. Ghosn.

Qualifications: Master’s or PhD in Bioinformatics with experience analyzing immune cells.

Experience in B cells or plasma cells is a plus but not required.

Working conditions: We value creative thinkers and problem solvers. You will join a vibrant team of researchers at various career stages, interests, and backgrounds, including undergrads and grad students (masters and PhD), postdocs, and career scientists. The laboratory is in an openspace concept on the second floor of a new sunlight-drenched research building (HSRB) at Emory.

The work schedule is flexible. Salary is commensurate with experience.

The Project: The candidate will lead projects on human immunology recently funded by the Gates Foundation and the National Institutes of Health in the Ghosn Lab. The candidate will have access to state-of-the-art technologies in multi-omics single-cell sequencing and Hi-D flow cytometry. The project is focused on human B cells and plasma cells, using donor samples and in vivo and ex vivo models. The results from your project should provide new insights into the mechanisms of protective immunity in early life and inform the development of new vaccine strategies targeted to children or adults. In addition, your studies will shed light on the mechanisms that lead to autoimmunity and other hematological disorders that are predominant at different developmental ages.
