Postdoctoral Research Analyst

We are seeking for motivated researcher with strong analytical skills to join our effort and generate novel insights of neurodegeneration with this unique dataset, while working in a highly dynamic multidisciplinary and collaborative environment. The new postdoctoral fellow/s will join a large team, currently twenty members, which is led by three faculty members and three senior scientists.

Dr. Cruchaga’s lab is well funded with several grants from the National Institute of Ageing, the CZI and ongoing collaboration with the pharma industry. Our current research projects include the analyses of:

• Plasma, CSF and Brain Proteomic and metabolomics analysis
• Biomarker identification through the use of machine learning approaches
• Multi-omics data integration with genomics, transcriptomics and methylomics data

• The successful applicant will hold, or shortly expects to obtain, a PhD qualification in Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computer science, Data science, Statistical Genomics or a related discipline involving the interrogation of ‘omics’ datasets.
• A hands-on experience with large-scale human omics (preferably related to neurodegeneration) studies is expected.
• He/she would have solid skills in at least one programming language (R, python or perl) and experience working in Linux and/or high-performance cluster environments.
• A strong ability to perform analytical reasoning to extract biological insights from data-driven approaches will be critical. In addition, familiarity to interrogate publicly available resources will be highly beneficial.

This is an in-person position only.
