About the role
- Perform comprehensive computational analyses of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics datasets to characterize the tumor microenvironment in bladder cancer.
- Apply advanced statistical and machine-learning methods to identify biomarkers, immune cell states, and biological mechanisms associated with BCG immunotherapy response.
- Integrate multi-modal datasets, including scRNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA-seq, proteomics, and clinical metadata, to achieve a systems-level understanding of tumor–immune interactions.
- Incorporate imaging and pathological covariates alongside molecular data to generate clinically interpretable insights and inform treatment strategies.
- Lead the synthesis of computational findings into clear, compelling scientific narratives and drive manuscript preparation for submission to high-impact journals.
- Collaborate closely with experimental scientists and clinical teams to interpret results, refine hypotheses, and guide translational research directions.
- Present findings internally and externally at scientific meetings and seminars.
Requirements
- PhD in Computational Biology, Bioinformatics, Data Science, Systems Biology, Biostatistics, or a related quantitative discipline.
- Strong experience analyzing high-dimensional omics data (e.g., single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, bulk RNA-seq).
- Proficiency in computational programming languages such as R and/or Python.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently on complex data analysis projects and communicate results clearly.
- Strong scientific writing skills and a track record for first-author publications.
- Experience with tumor immunology, cancer biology, or immunotherapy datasets (preferred).
- Familiarity with spatial transcriptomics platforms and/or imaging-based analyses (preferred).
- Experience integrating multi-modal molecular and clinical datasets (preferred).
- Prior exposure to translational or clinically oriented research environments (preferred).
