Job
Postdoctoral Research Analyst
Organization
Washington University School of Medicine-Cruchaga Lab, St. Louis, Missouri, United States
Scientific focus area
Neuroscience, Genetics and Genomics
The Cruchaga Lab, at Washington University School of Medicine is recruiting multiple Postdoctoral Research Scientists. The NeuroGenomics and Informatics Center (NGI) generates and analyzes Whole-Genome Sequencing data and high-throughput, multi-dimensional -omic data to study neurodegeneration and diseases of the central nervous system, with an emphasis on Alzheimer disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other dementias.
About the position
We have recently received several NIH R01 awards to generate and analyze large WGS datasets for both familial Alzheimer Disease and sporadic early-onset cases. We are seeking highly motivated researchers with strong analytical skills, especially in genetics and WGS/WES analyses to lead the analyses for these projects. The new postdoc(s) will join a large team, currently 30+ members, which is led by three faculty members, and regroups four postdocs, several PhD students, and three senior scientists.
