Job Description

We are seeking postdoctoral fellows to join the Reznik Laboratory for Computational Cancer Metabolism at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York. Our research group investigates basic and translational problems at the interface of cancer genomics, tumor metabolism, and mitochondrial genetics using multimodal datasets.

The chosen candidate will lead new and highly collaborative projects applying bulk and single cell sequencing technologies to understand the functional and therapeutic significance of somatic mitochondrial DNA mutations in cancer biology. They will join a diverse group of quantitative geneticists, genomicists, and machine learners embedded in the Computational Oncology Service, a new initiative dedicated to translational, data-driven cancer science and tightly integrated with the work of MSK's clinicians.

Competitive candidates should must have

• PhD in a computational or quantitative discipline including but not limited to computational biology, bioengineer, computer science, physics, or bioinformatics.
• A research background in cancer genomics is preferred but not necessary.
