Position Type
Full-Time/Regular
The Beane Lab within the section of computational biomedicine at Boston University Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine is seeking a highly motivated computational postdoctoral associate to lead the analysis of single-cell and spatial transcriptomic data across two translational research programs in lung and urethral disease. The successful candidate will join a collaborative group of computational biologists, bench scientists, pathologists, and clinicians, and will take intellectual ownership of projects from data processing through biological interpretation and publication.
Required Skills
Required
- PhD (or equivalent) in computational biology, bioinformatics, genomics, biostatistics, systems biology, or a related quantitative field, obtained within the last [3] years or expected before the start date.
- Hands-on experience analyzing single-cell and/or spatial transcriptomic data, with a first-author publication or preprint demonstrating this work.
- Proficiency in R and/or Python and standard analysis frameworks (e.g., Seurat, Bioconductor, scanpy, squidpy, scvi-tools), and comfort working in a Linux/high-performance computing environment.
- Working knowledge of, or a strong willingness to learn, the underlying biology, including epithelial and immune cell biology, tissue histology, and the pathophysiology of lung and urethral disease.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and the ability to work both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team.
Preferred
- Background in cancer biology, immunology, pulmonary or urologic disease, or tissue pathology.
- Experience with multimodal data integration, spatial neighborhood analysis, or machine learning applied to genomic or imaging data.
- Experience with workflow management (e.g., Nextflow, Snakemake), containers, and version control (Git).
Application Instructions:
Please submit the following to Dr. Jennifer Beane (jbeane@bu.edu) with "Postdoctoral Associate - Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics" in the subject line:
- a cover letter (one page) describing your research experience, your interest in the position, and how your background prepares you to work at the interface of computation and lung or urethral biology;
- a current CV including publications and links to code (e.g., GitHub); and
- names and contact information for three references.

Organization
The Difference Is Our DNA
What compelled the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to award Boston University a grant to fight newborn mortality in Zambia? Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. adopt BU as a place where he could hone his message of justice and equality? And what is the catalyst that prompts 32,557 students from 135 countries to call BU their home every semester? It’s in our DNA: an inherent desire in each of our students, faculty, and staff to vigorously and dauntlessly pursue knowledge—and embrace the unlimited possibilities that come with it.
A Community Unlike Any Other
As you can see below, it takes people, ideas, and a little luck (Boston, you’re our town) to make BU what it is today: one of the most dynamic universities in the world.
Celebrated thinkers: On any given day, students will find themselves mesmerized by Nobel Prize winners, a poet laureate, and the first biomedical engineer ever to receive a MacArthur Foundation “Genius Award,” among others.
Extraordinary teaching: When a classroom starts to percolate with new ideas, it’s because our faculty of scholars and accomplished practitioners know how to ignite students’ imaginations. That’s why we reward our best teachers with BU’s most prestigious honor: The Metcalf Cup and Prize.
Groundbreaking research: With faculty dedicated to a creative, interdisciplinary approach to problem solving, BU has become a leading global research institution—propelled forward by over $350 million a year in sponsored program revenue.
World-class students: Elite students from all 50 states and 135 countries pursue higher education on BU campuses in Boston and at programs in L.A., D.C., and more than 30 other cities on six continents.
A city within a city: Today, 80% of our undergrads live on campus, which could explain the 525 student activity groups alone.
The greatest college town in the world: Boston. ’Nuff said.
