Position Summary

We invite talented post-doctoral candidates with an interest in cancer genomics, multi-omic data analysis, algorithm design, and/or deep learning to apply for a position in Jin Zhang, PhD, MPHS’s translational genomics lab (https://sites.wustl.edu/jinzhang) at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO. This postdoc will also be co-advised by Michael Waters, MD, PhD (https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-waters-92a20247/), who will be an Assistant Professor at WashU starting July 2024.

Since joining the WUSTL faculty in 2017, Dr. Zhang has built a lab with an ambitious interest in developing tools and applying cutting-edge bioinformatic and deep learning/AI techniques to advance our understanding of cancer biology and treatment. Our agile, growing research group has been funded by multiple grant awards from the National Cancer Institute, including 2 NCI R01s received last year. We are also extremely proud to be part of the Translational Radiation Oncology Center (TARGET) supported by an NCI U54 Specialized Center grant (https://sites.wustl.edu/translationalradiation/). The Zhang lab currently has 10 members and is looking to expand to 14 in the next year.

The candidate will enjoy significant autonomy while playing a critical role in finding new discoveries and developing advanced genomic and/or deep learning/AI approaches in cancer biology as applied in personalized radiation therapy (RT). The candidate will also lead projects on multi-omics data integration and clinical imaging data integration. We are aware that most of the candidates won’t be immediately an expert on all the above domains in our groundbreaking multi-disciplinary research. The candidate will enjoy significant mentorship from Drs. Zhang and Waters and experienced lab members to develop their domain knowledge and ability to lead research teams, including guidance in career development and transition to an independent investigator. The position also offers an excellent opportunity to conduct research in a supportive and stimulating environment, closely collaborating with computer scientists, biologists, and clinicians within Department of Radiation Oncology and other institutes across the campus, including the McDonnell Genome Institute, Institute for Informatics, and Siteman Cancer Center.
