What are the responsibilities and job description for the Computational Postdoctoral Associate position at The Jackson Laboratory?
Computational Postdoctoral Associate
Carter Lab
The Carter Lab has an opening for a postdoctoral associate in the computational biology of Alzheimer's disease. This position will be part of our ongoing studies that seek to understand the origins, progression, and potential treatments of Alzheimer's disease through multiple experimental platforms. The focus will be on characterizing donor-derived organoid models and assessing their utility in precision medicine approaches to treating Alzheimer's disease. This process encompasses a range of computational and systems biology approaches, including big data analysis through dimensional reduction, inference of disease relevance by comparison to matched human data, and pharmacogenomic analysis of targeted therapies.
This project is embedded in a broader set of studies using mouse and non-human primate models to enable unique cross-species analysis to accelerate the discovery of treatments for dementia. We are especially interested in candidates with systems biology expertise seeking to develop innovative ideas in translational data analysis. Our collaborative, consortium-based environment provides a rich data environment and opportunities for follow-up experimentation. We are dedicated to open science and establishing an inclusive culture to expand our vision of scientific progress.
The Jackson Laboratory provides excellent educational and training opportunities for JAX Postdoctoral Associates. Exceptional candidates are encouraged to apply for the prestigious JAX Scholar award, which supports promising early-career postdoctoral associates conducting cutting-edge biomedical and basic biological research at JAX.
