The Naqvi lab at Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School is looking for a highly motivated and enthusiastic Research Assistant to join our team. The Naqvi lab uses experimental and computational techniques to understand how transcription factors (TFs) regulate developmental gene expression, and how this process goes awry in disease. We are looking for a computational Research Assistant to join our team in order to drive forward ambitious projects applying cutting-edge machine learning models to high-throughput sequencing data obtained from TF perturbation experiments. This Research Assistant will be part of a dynamic and growing scientific team, with opportunities to shape the direction of an exciting research program at the intersection of gene regulation, machine learning, and stem cell biology. This is an inclusive and rigorous lab environment. The position is part of an intellectually stimulating scientific ecosystems of Boston Children’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, with regular opportunities for seminars and coursework.
Job Responsibility:
Curate, process, and analyze high-throughput sequencing datasets (ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, RNA-seq) at scale from public repositories and in-house experiments
Deploy, evaluate, and interpret cutting-edge deep learning models for sequence-to-function prediction
Read literature and assist with design of analyses and experiments
Manage computational cluster space and contribute to lab chores
Requirements:
Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (Biology/Genetics/Bioengineering/Computer Science or related) is required
Strong programming experience with demonstrated ability to analyze large datasets independently
Comfortable working in Linux/Unix environments and on computational clusters
