The Department of Medicine Division of Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford University is seeking a talented Bioinformatics Engineer to join the Bioinformatics Core (BIC) of the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC). As part of this groundbreaking national research consortium, you will help unravel the molecular mechanisms underlying the benefits of physical activity. Under the supervision of co-PIs Dr. Euan Ashley and Dr. Matthew Wheeler, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of personalized exercise science and public health. Dr. Euan Ashley's research interests focus on the application of genomics and other omics data to improve clinical care, with an emphasis on cardiovascular disease and personalized medicine. Dr. Matthew Wheeler's research centers on the integration of large-scale molecular and clinical data to understand the genetic basis of cardiovascular diseases and to develop novel therapeutic strategies.
By joining our team, your proficiency in applying advanced statistical methodologies, such as multivariate analysis, machine learning, and Bayesian approaches, will be essential for uncovering novel insights and driving innovation in our research efforts. Your strong statistical background and expertise in analyzing large biological datasets. experience in handling diverse omics data will contribute significantly to our understanding of complex biological systems and the development of personalized medicine. You will also contribute to the analysis, execution, and development of pipelines and bioinformatic tools for various omics data generated within MoTrPAC. This innovative project integrates large volumes of clinical and densely time-sampled molecular data, pushing the boundaries of biomedical data analytics. Our portal () will push the boundaries of biomedical data analytics to provide insight into the basic and translational science of exercise. Working alongside our multidisciplinary team, you will be at the forefront of understanding how physical activity preserves and improves health, ultimately making a lasting impact on human well-being.
