School: Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Department/Area: MIPS/Environmental Health Position Description: The Haber lab is a new research group in the Department of Environmental Health at HSPH. The group investigates the effect of environmental exposures on the airways of mammalian lungs, with particular focus on the role of the airway epithelium in the pathogenesis of asthma. In particular, work in the lab focuses on development and application of computational approaches for analysis and interpretation of next-generation sequencing data, particularly single-cell RNA-sequencing and related approaches. In addition to identifying the biological mechanisms through which known environmental exposures affect respiratory health, the group is also interested in mapping of asthma burden using geospatial analysis of epidemiologic data. This line of research in the lab seeks to isolate factors, such as poor housing conditions, in the social physical, and built environment that contribute to racial and socioeconomic disparities in rates of asthma. Basic Qualifications: PhD or equivalent in computational biology, computer science, statistics, mathematics or other quantitative field. Candidates holding a degree in biological/medical science are also welcome to apply if they have extensive background in computational or statistical work. Additional Qualifications: Applicants must have substantial experience with statistical or epidemiologic data analysis. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated research interests in areas currently under investigation (e.g. asthma, COPD, lung biology, mucosal immunology) in the research group. Contact Information: Patrice Ayers, Faculty Assistant Contact Email: ahaber@broadinstitute.org Special Instructions: Please send curriculum vitae, a brief statement of goals, and the names of three references to: ahaber@broadinstitute.org Equal Opportunity Employer: We are an equal opportunity employer and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability status, protected veteran status, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy and pregnancy-related conditions or any other characteristic protected by law.
