Post Doctoral Scientist Yr 1-3 - IGM Bedrosian - Nationwide Children's Hospital

The Bedrosian lab in the Institute for Genomic Medicine is seeking a post-doctoral scientist to join our team. Our translational research group focuses on studying the genetics of epilepsy and other neurodevelopmental diseases using patient-derived tissue as well as murine models. We use cutting-edge techniques including single cell RNA-sequencing, spatial transcriptomics/proteomics, and other genomic techniques. The successful candidate will be engaged in projects exploring the molecular etiology of epilepsies through bioinformatic analysis of single-cell sequencing data and other genomic data. Prior experience with R and Seurat is preferred. The Institute for Genomic Medicine provides a stellar training environment with exposure to world-class expertise in genomics. We are a collaborative group with opportunities to build new skillsets and interact across the institute. Post-doctoral scientist will report to PI.
