Oregon Health and Science University

Department Overview

The Carbone Lab at Oregon Health & Science University is seeking a highly motivated and skilled junior Postdoctoral Scholar to join our team. This position offers a unique opportunity to engage in both experimental and computational research, with the goal of uncovering how human-specific 3D genome organization and chromatin architecture influence human brain development and contribute to neurodevelopmental disorders. The successful candidate will work at the intersection of evolutionary (epi)genomics and neuroscience, helping to decipher mechanisms that are uniquely human.

Function/Duties of Position

The successful candidate will collaborate closely with molecular biology research staff and work under the guidance of the Principal Investigator and a staff scientist.

Key responsibilities include:

Performing and optimizing high-throughput (epi)genomic assays—such as Micro-C, CUT&RUN, RNA-seq, and ATAC-seq—across multiple species and tissue types.

Analyzing next-generation sequencing (NGS) data using established pipelines and open-source bioinformatics tools.

Integrating multi-omic datasets to advance the lab’s research on genome architecture and neurodevelopment.

Additional responsibilities include contributing to manuscript writing, presenting findings at scientific conferences, and mentoring junior staff. In addition to the main project, the postdoc will contribute to other ongoing lab projects with similar research scope, offering a broad exposure to epigenomic research. Finally, there is the possibility to contribute to the KCVI Epigenetics consortium, which provides wet/dry research services to investigators across different research areas (cardiovascular, cancer, aging, etc.).

Required Qualifications

PhD degree in Genetics, Molecular Biology, Neuroscience, Bioinformatics or a closely related field

Extensive wet lab experience with routine RNA and DNA assays, as well as high-throughput (epi)genomic assay (e.g. Micro-C, CUT&RUN, RNA-seq, ATAC seq)

At least 2 years of experience executing bioinformatics analysis of next-generation sequencing data and familiarity with relevant tools and pipelines

Strong understanding of molecular biology, chromatin biology, and gene regulation

Proficient in using public bioinformatics tools (e.g. SAMtools BEDtools, BWA) for analyzing high-throughput sequencing data

Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity in developing research and analysis strategies

Excellent oral and written communication skills with a strong track record of scientific publication

Ability to work effectively both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary, collaborative team

Ability to prioritize tasks efficiently to meet project goals, with a strong sense of self-motivation and integrity

Preferred Qualifications

Experience with cross-species comparative analysis, particularly in mammals

Experience in single-cell assays, cell culture and differentiation

Proficiency in R, coding languages, and biostatistical methods

Familiarity with data integration techniques

Additional Details

The Carbone lab is part of The Knight Cardiovascular Institute (KCVI). KCVI is recognized as a top integrated center for cardiovascular clinical care, translational research, and professional training in all aspects of heart and vascular disease. Guided by a multi-disciplinary approach, researchers and clinicians drive a vibrant translational research program, which focuses on delivering the latest knowledge and cutting-edge care to patients. Specifically, research at KCVI seeks to improve patient outcomes by achieving earlier diagnosis of disease, more accurate monitoring of its progression, and tailoring therapy to the molecular basis of disease.
