About The Position

Computational Scientist – Mootha Laboratory Join the Mootha Laboratory at HHMI/Broad Institute to uncover the mechanisms of mitochondrial dysfunction in human disease. As a Ph.D. Data Scientist, you will join a dynamic team of ~25 post-docs and professional scientists dedicated to high-impact discovery. Your role will involve analyzing and integrating high-dimensional multi-omics data (DNA sequencing, RNA-seq, single cell RNA-seq, proteomics, and metabolomics). You will work closely with lab members to influence all aspects of a project’s lifecycle, from initial experimental design and data capture, to quality control, statistical inference, and biological interpretation. As part of the Broad Institute, you will have access to world-class computational infrastructure and a vibrant community of over 500 scientists. This is a rare opportunity to be part of an exciting team of leaders in biochemistry, computational biology, and clinical medicine, with ample opportunities for co-authorship on high-impact publications.
