The Vento Lab is looking for a Senior Bioinformatician/Computational Biologist to support single-cell, spatial transcriptomic and CRISPR data analysis within the team. The role spans multiple projects aimed at understanding the immune system through cutting-edge single-cell genomics, advanced computational methods, and emerging AI-driven approaches. The successful candidate will join an interdisciplinary environment that brings together wet-lab immunologists and computational biologists.

This is a research-focused position for a computational biologist who uses genomics and transcriptomics to frame and investigate cell biology hypotheses. The successful candidate will work both independently and collaboratively within the Vento group to design and execute analyses of large-scale transcriptomic and CRISPR datasets from immune cells. This requires a deep understanding of the biological and experimental context of the data, the ability to formulate relevant biological questions, to select and design analytical methods appropriate to the experimental context, and to apply cellular, immune, and tissue biology knowledge to interpret results in a meaningful way. Alongside contributing to assigned projects, the post holder will help shape the group’s analytical directions by maintaining an overview of ongoing work, interacting closely with members of the Vento group and external collaborators, and playing an active role in scientific discussions and in developing innovative computational strategies. There will also be opportunities to broaden expertise in machine learning and AI approaches.

Overall, the successful candidate will join a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary research team with expertise in applying cutting-edge single-cell genomics to biological questions in immunology and women’s health. Our culture is grounded in open communication, scientific curiosity, and mutual support. Together, we aim to generate impactful insights into how the immune system develops, maintains health, and responds to disease, with a particular focus on conditions affecting women.
