Offer Description

The position is part of the subproject coordinated by Prof. Helder Nakaya (Albert Einstein Israeli Institute of Education and Research), focused on identifying shared cellular and molecular signatures across autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, including lupus, arthritis, Crohn’s disease, psoriasis, and ulcerative colitis. The work is fully in person in São Paulo and involves single-cell and spatial transcriptomics analysis, integration of multi-disease datasets, investigation of cell–cell communication, and the development of computational tools to understand the immunological mechanisms that drive inflammation.

We are looking for candidates who obtained their PhD within the last 7 years in bioinformatics, computational biology, immunology, molecular biology, data science, statistics, or related fields, with demonstrated experience in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA seq) analysis, data and multiomics integration, and cell type annotation; proficiency in R or Python; and excellent English. Experience with spatial transcriptomics and immunology of autoimmune diseases is desirable.

Interested candidates should send a motivation letter, CV summary according to the model established by FAPESP (the São Paulo Research Foundation, grantor institution), and contact information for two referees in a single PDF file to csbl.assistant@gmail.com with the subject line “Postdoc Autoimmune Fellowship Einstein”.

The fellow will develop his/her activities at the Computational System Biology Laboratory (CSBL) based at InovaUSP, the University of São Paulo's Innovation Center, located at USP's main campus in São Paulo city, Brazil.

This opportunity is open to candidates of any nationality. The selected candidate will receive a FAPESP Post-Doctoral fellowship in the amount of R$ 12,570.00 monthly and a research contingency fund, equivalent to 10% of the annual value of the fellowship which should be spent on items directly related to the research activity.
