Job
Postdoctoral Research Fellow
Organization
National Institute on Aging, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
Scientific focus area
Neuroscience, Genetics and Genomics, Computational Biology
The COEVOLVING lab at the NIA uses state-of-the-art computational approaches and large *omics datasets to illuminate how sex-related mechanisms impact neurodegenerative disease.
About the position
We are looking for Postdoctoral Research Fellows to lead projects involving:
- analysis of molecular genetics and genomic data, including genome-wide genotype data, microarray-based expression datasets, whole exome sequencing, and full transcriptome sequencing (from bulk tissues and single cells)
- development and implementation of analytic pipelines for generating and analyzing multi-modal datasets
- collaboration with NIH scientists and other NIH collaborators
- compilation and analysis of new data from human and nonhuman primate samples
- preparation of manuscripts
Projects in this lab are focused on:
- Neurodegenerative diseases - we study the molecular predictors and downstream impacts of neurodegenerative diseases to identify therapeutic targets
- Sex effects on biology - we illuminate how sex-related traits (sex chromosomes, sex hormones) modulate brain health outcomes - comparative (evolutionary) variation
- Comparative neuroscience - we compare human and nonhuman brains to better understand our evolutionary histories and the utility of different animal models
