Full DescriptionPostdoctoral Research Fellow Position
Description:We are seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Research Fellow to join our multidisciplinary team at the Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center (https://medicineandpublichealth.vanderbilt.edu/vec/). Our research program is supported by multiple NIH-funded R01 grants and focuses on leveraging large-scale genomics, multi-omics, and EHR-linked biobank data to uncover the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer and other complex diseases. Major areas of research include genetic discovery, causal gene and pathway identification, multi-omics integration, AI-driven therapeutic target discovery, drug repurposing, and precision medicine.
Qualifications:Applicants should hold a PhD (or equivalent) in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, computational biology, biostatistics, data science, or a related field. Strong programming skills in Python, R, or Perl within Unix/Linux environments are required. Experience with large-scale genomic, multi-omics, biobank, or EHR data is highly desirable.
Key Responsibilities:- Analyze large-scale genomic, multi-omics, and EHR-linked datasets.
- Develop and apply statistical, bioinformatics, and AI methods to identify disease-associated variants, genes, pathways, and biomarkers.
- Integrate genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and other omics data to elucidate disease mechanisms.
- Prioritize therapeutic targets and perform drug repurposing analyses using genomic and pharmacogenomic and large EHR resources.
- Collaborate with national and international research consortia.
- Lead manuscript preparation, present research findings, and contribute to grant applications.
- Develop innovative research projects in precision medicine and translational genomics.
