• Demonstrated rigor and reproducibility through well organized and well documented code and/or committed to a public code repository (e.g. github)
• Experience analyzing next-generation sequencing data (e.g., transcriptomics, immune repertoire, single-cell sequencing experiments)
• Preference for candidates having familiarity with dimensionality reduction, regression models, machine learning and/or cloud infrastructure for scalable scientific computing
• Outstanding organizational skills, attention to detail and effective communication are essential
• Eagerness to learn about immunology, vaccines, microbial ecology, biostatistics or whatever the science demands
