Join to apply for the Computational Biologist 3 role at Oregon Health & Science University

Department Overview

In the Ajami Lab (OHSU), we are building next-generation tools to decode how immune cells, especially microglia, shape the course of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS. Our vision? To reverse-engineer the immune system in the brain using patients samples and cutting-edge single-cell and spatial omics. We're looking for a Lead Data Scientist to helm the bioinformatics arm of the lab. You'll work closely with our internal team and external consultant and industry collaborators such as to develop and re-engineer machine learning and AI tools tailored specifically for brain-resident immune cells. You will also mentor and guide our sharp in-house data science crew, helping take our analysis pipelines and disease modeling to the next level.
