Help Define the Future of AI Neuroscience - Postdoctoral Fellow

Yale School of Medicine | Adams Center for Parkinson’s Disease Research | New Haven, USA

Join a mission-driven team at Yale to build a Parkinson’s Disease Discovery Engine—integrating genomics, multi-omics, and AI to generate digital twins of patients and deliver precision medicines at the right time for the right individual.

The Stephen & Denise Adams Center for Parkinson’s Disease Research and Scherzer Neurogenomics Lab combine population-scale human data (>30,000 deeply phenotyped participants), single-cell and spatial omics, and next-generation AI models of gene regulation and disease progression. Our work is redefining Parkinson’s disease biology and enabling translational breakthroughs.

• Develop deep learning models across genome → cell → patient
• Integrate multi-modal data (genomics, transcriptomics, biosensors, EHR)
• Perform single-cell and spatial multi-omics analyses at scale
• Lead high-impact publications and contribute to therapeutic discovery

• PhD in computer science, bioinformatics, computer science, or related field
• Strong coding skills (Python required; ML frameworks preferred)
• First-author publication(s)
• Experience in genomics, single-cell data, or machine learning (preferred)

• Build next-generation AI models of the human genome
• Work with one of the richest longitudinal PD datasets worldwide
• Operate at the interface of AI, genomics, and clinical translation
• Join an interdisciplinary team spanning neurology, genetics, and machine learning

Highly competitive salary exceeding top-tier U.S. postdoctoral benchmarks, with full Yale benefits and strong support for career development and independence.
