Postdoctoral Fellow in Precision Medicine Translational Research

Position Overview

The Johns Hopkins Division of Rheumatology is seeking a one or two-year MD, PhD, or MD/PhD Postdoctoral Fellow for a T32-funded postdoctoral training position to join a multidisciplinary team advancing biomarker discovery, validation, and clinical translation in lupus nephritis and related autoimmune diseases. This position is part of the Johns Hopkins Individualized Health Initiative (Hopkins in Health), a University-wide effort to develop precision tools that improve diagnosis, prognosis, patient stratification, and therapeutic decision making.

• Identify and validate molecular biomarkers (proteomic, genomic, cellular) that predict disease activity, renal outcomes, and treatment response.
• Integrate urine proteomics, tissue transcriptomics, immune phenotyping, and clinical data to define biologically meaningful patient subgroups.
• Contribute to the development of risk‑prediction tools, biomarker panels, and precision‑medicine algorithms.
• Participate in NIH-funded translational studies involving spatial multi‑omics, proteomics platforms, and clinical cohorts.
• Lead manuscripts and abstracts in biomarker discovery and translational immunology.

Due to T32 funding requirements, applicants must be U.S. citizens, noncitizen nationals, or permanent U.S. residents.

• MD, PhD, or MD/PhD in a clinical or biomedical science discipline.
• Strong interest in biomarker discovery and translational research.
• Experience integrating molecular and clinical data is highly desirable.
• Excellent scientific writing and communication skills.
