A postdoctoral training position is currently available in Dr. Gary H. Gibbons’ Cardiovascular Cluster in the Inherited Disease Branch, Cardiovascular Cluster (IDB-CC) of the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI). The successful candidate is expected to join an established Cardiovascular Disease Cluster team, which is currently comprised of biomedical informatics analysts, physicians, nurses, research assistants, computer science and engineer staff. Additionally, the candidate will work closely with our sister lab in the IDB-CC that focuses on population epidemiology with staff consisting of a Principal Investigator and Senior Population Epidemiologist, and five additional population/genetic epidemiologists.
The ongoing projects in Dr. Gibbons’ IDB-CC use biomedical informatics and systems biology approaches to integrate data from platforms such as next generation sequencing for the identification of genetic variation (SNPs, indels/CNVs, splice variants, tandem repeats and admixture mapping etc..) and transcriptome variation (gene expression, GWAS, microRNA, and methylation) between ancestral populations with cardiovascular disease or other complex diseases. Our lab uses these high-throughput technologies to identify, categorize and evaluate genomic to phenomic relationships that contribute to prevalence, severity, host natural resistance and treatment responsiveness of minority population’s with cardiovascular disease (CVD).
The qualified candidates should be highly motivated and have or be close to obtaining a MD and or Ph.D. with a focus in computational biology, statistical genetics, mathematics, bioinformatics, epigenetics or related field upon the job start date. The successful candidate should have experience in analyzing high-throughput genomic data, proficiency in at least one programming language (Perl, Java, R, Ruby, SAS, or C/C++) and very familiar with omics data dimensionality reduction utilizing statistical applications such as Plink, R GNU, Bioconductor and MATLAB. Good understanding of systems biology and familiarity with gene-gene interaction modeling and clustering with applications such as Ingenuity and GeneGO are desirable. Applicant must possess good communication skills and be fluent in both spoken and written English. Funding is available to support this position for up to five years. Salary is based on NIH standard. The candidate will have the opportunity to access many high throughput datasets and to interact with the investigators at the National Institutes of Health and other academic and science based institutions.
Interested applicants should submit curriculum vitae, a detailed letter of interest, and the names of three potential referees to Dr. Adam R. Davis, at [email protected] or to the address below.
