• Interpret results clearly and present findings to scientists and decision-makers in written and verbal formats.
• Collaborate with experimental teams to plan analyses that inform study design and follow-up experiments.
• Maintain data quality, metadata standards, and best practices for reproducible research.

Responsibilities You will be expected to:

• Work hands-on with patient derived large-scale and diverse omics datasets, including single-cell and spatial omics
• Apply statistical, machine learning, and causal inference methods to answer translational questions.
• Develop scripts and workflows following FAIR principles. - Troubleshoot data issues and ensure rigorous QC and documentation for analyses.
• Mentor junior colleagues and contribute to a collaborative, curious, and respectful team culture.
• Keep up to date with methods and tools and evaluate new approaches for adoption.

Basic Qualification
We are seeking professionals with the following required skills and qualifications to help us achieve our goals:

• Advanced degree (PhD) in computational biology, genetics, or biological sciences.
• Experience in R and/or Python for data analysis and scripting.
• Experience with single-cell, spatial omics, or proteomics analysis workflows. - Track record of producing reproducible analyses and version-controlled code (e.g., Git).

Preferred Qualification
If you have the following characteristics, it would be a plus:

• Background in neurodegeneration and knowledge of the neurodegeneration data landscape would be preferred but not strictly required.
• Experience integrating omics with clinical or real-world data. - Familiarity with cloud or distributed compute environments (e.g., BigQuery, Spark, Nextflow, Docker).
• Publication record or evidence of influencing research direction through analytical contributions.
