Computational Biologist

Overview

The Computational Biologist be part of an interdisciplinary research group combining systems biology, immunology, and human genetics to uncover the mechanisms that drive autoimmune disease. The lab leads large-scale efforts such as the VIGOR family-based vitiligo cohort ( and multi-omic studies of lupus and cutaneous autoimmunity, integrating data across molecular, cellular, and clinical scales.

This position will bridge two complementary areas of research :

• Molecular systems immunology , involving the analysis of single-cell and spatial transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic datasets to dissect cell states and communication networks in diseased and healthy tissues.
• Genetic and longitudinal modeling , integrating genomic variation with real-world longitudinal data—including proteomics, wearable device metrics, survey responses, and clinical measures—to build predictive and causal models of disease initiation and progression.

The ideal candidate combines strong computational and statistical skills with a biological curiosity about how genetic and environmental factors jointly shape immune dysregulation.
