    About the position

    The Luna lab is jointly affiliated with the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The dual ambitions of the lab are to make biomedical data and information accessible, as well as, to advance cancer research that helps people live longer, healthier lives. We seek outstanding, highly motivated, and skilled candidates to join our team with the goal of understanding how researchers interpret large data sets and enable them to explore and gain insight from data sets through interactive systems to advance healthcare.

    This position offers a unique opportunity to push beyond the traditional scope of data extraction and management techniques to address the new challenges of large-scale, heterogeneous data. The group combines expertise in data management, visualization, information retrieval, and network data, and we will work in areas of data integration, data uncertainty, data summarization, visual analytics (using both visualization and machine learning) to explore novel assistive interfaces and data query methods that leverage large language models (LLMs) and vision (multimodal) models. Through this work, selected applicants will contribute collaboratively to research in the field of cancer therapeutics and precision medicine that spans both basic and translational science objectives. Successful candidates will develop novel bioinformatic machine learning methodologies in the areas of: 1) multimodal data summarization from pharmacogenomics datasets, 2) structuring complex scientific information from unstructured manuscript data (e.g., supplementary data, experimental protocols, images) and 3) retrieval-augmented generation for LLM-backed agents for information retrieval from cancer-related multi-omics datasets.

    We are offering full-time postdoctoral fellow positions, available immediately and renewable on a yearly basis. The NIH offers a competitive salary and comprehensive health insurance. Initial appointments will be for 1-2 year(s), with possible extensions up to 5 years. The NIH is dedicated to building a diverse community in its training and employment programs as well as the continued education and career development of all its research staff. These positions are subject to background checks.

    About the NCI/CCR/DTB

    The National Cancer Institute Center for Cancer Research (NCI-CCR, https://ccr.cancer.gov/) is the largest division of the NCI; it encompasses various branches such as the NCI Developmental Therapeutics Branch. The NCI CCR has a mandate to confront the special challenges presented by rare cancers as well as cancers that may be predominant in medically underserved populations. One way in which the NCI CCR addresses this mandate is by conducting clinical trials that recruit patients with rare cancers thereby generating unique data to advance research in these cancers. While rare cancers affect low numbers of patients, as a group, they account for about a quarter of all cancers, as well as a quarter of all cancer deaths each year (https://www.cancer.gov/pediatric-adult-rare-tumor/rare-tumors/about-rare-cancers).
