School: Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Department/Area: Epidemiology Position Description: Dr. William Hanage, PhD, Associate Professor in the Center for Communicable Disease Dynamics in the Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health invites creative and motivated Postdoctoral Researchers to apply for positions studying bacterial population genomics. Two positions are available: one for a bioinformatics specialist to work with large genomic datasets, and the other for a theoretician/computational biologist to develop and test evolutionary models. Dr. Hanage's lab combines genomic data and theoretical approaches to improve our understanding of pathogen evolution and epidemiology. His lab has made pivotal contributions to our understanding of the response of pneumococci to vaccination, the spread of drug resistance in multiple pathogens, and the role of horizontal gene transfer in disseminating genetic innovation and speciation. He has also shown the importance of accounting for variation within infections when reconstructing transmission networks. The successful candidates will work closely with Dr. Hanage and staff in the multidisciplinary research team based in CCDD where they will have the opportunity for professional development through interaction with other scientists applying bioinformatic, epidemiological and epidemic modeling approaches to viral, bacterial, and protozoan pathogens. They will also have opportunities to interact with leaders of bacterial evolution and infectious disease epidemiology at this institution and abroad. The fellow will have access to a wealth of resources including high-quality genomic and epidemiological data, a cutting-edge computing facility, robust analytical pipelines, the most recent sequencing and laboratory technology, and research expertise in genomics, mathematics, and computer science. The positions are funded through May 2022. Current projects include: Basic Qualifications: Basic Qualification Additional Qualifications: Additional Qualifications for Theoretical Position: Additional Qualifications for Genomics Position: Contact Information: Interested candidates should contact Bill Hanage at whanage@hsph.harvard.edu. Inquiries or requests for more information can additionally be sent to whanage@hsph.harvard.edu along with a CV.
