We are recruiting: Postdoctoral Fellow in Rare Disease Bioinformatics

The Polavarapu research group is recruiting a Postdoctoral Fellow in Rare Disease Bioinformatics. Working within a multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment, the postholder will provide computational and bioinformatic expertise to a team working on the integration of genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, phenotypic, and publicly available datasets for variant interpretation, gene discovery, genotype–phenotype studies, and translational rare disease research.

The position involves close collaboration with clinicians, wet-lab scientists, bioinformaticians, and international research consortia. The successful candidate will contribute to the development and implementation of modern computational genomics workflows, including emerging AI/ML-based analytical approaches and reproducible bioinformatics pipelines.
