What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Research Fellow position at Office of Intramural Training & Education?
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
