•    Preference will be given to applicants with an outstanding record of team science, with an emphasis in spatial transcriptomics and single-cell genomics.
•    The candidate is expected to identify and resolve methodological issues that arise in team science research, as a major expectation is to identify areas of methodological research in which to engage that will benefit the candidate’s research. 

Responsibilities: 
•    Conduct independent and collaborative genomics-based research in bioinformatics, particularly in the area of spatial and single cell genomics.
•    Team science collaboration to tackle a variety of cancer clinical and basic science research projects.
