Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation • Oklahoma City, OK

23h

About The Position

The Lessard Lab is seeking a bioinformatics scientist to join our research team. Our research leveraged high-throughput bulk and single cell sequencing technologies to investigate the regulatory functions that control gene expression within the complex landscape of the three-dimensional genome and how genetic variations influence these regulatory functions to cause human diseases such as Sjgrens disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and other autoimmune diseases.

Requirements

• Ph.D., M.D., or Ph.D. /M.D.
• Strong project management and organizational skills and communication (verbal and written) skills are required.
