Description

Title Postdoctoral Fellow Specific Title Fellow in mulit-Omics data analysis Appointment Type Postdoctoral Fellow Department IUSM - Radiology & Imaging Sciences Campus IU School of Medicine Indianapolis Position Summary

The Neuroimaging Genomics Laboratory, co-led by Drs.

Andrew Saykin and Kwangsik Nho of the Indiana University School of Medicine Center for Neuroimaging (CfN), has immediate full-time openings for one or more outstanding, highly motivated post-doctoral research fellows with special interest in human genomics/computational systems biology to work on the multi-omics data of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD).

The Lab's overarching goals are 1) to achieve a better understanding of the complex causes and mechanisms leading to ADRD, 2) to improve early detection and longitudinal monitoring by combining genomics, fluid biomarkers and advanced neuroimaging and 3) to identify novel targets for diagnostic use and therapeutic intervention.

Fellows will work on research problems using rich data sets and leading-edge analytic approaches supported by multiple NIH grants (R, U and P programs).

Topics include (a) human genetics of ADRD using quantitative endophenotypes from neuroimaging and other fluid biomarkers, (b) systems biology analysis of pathways from multi-omics data using multi-layered network approaches, machine learning for identification of genetic risk factors in ADRD, (d) relation of central and peripheral omics to ADRD biomarkers and clinical measures, and (e) studies in diverse multiethnic populations to broaden our understanding of genetics and ADRD biomarkers.

Fellows will take the lead in preparing manuscripts for publication and contribute to grant applications while collaborating on other projects as part of a multidisciplinary team science effort.

Special opportunities afforded by this fellowship include experience working with the Genetics Core of the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), Indiana Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (IADRC), IU Network Science Institute (IUNI), and multiple NIH sponsored multicenter programs including the Alzheimer's Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC), Alzheimer's Disease Sequencing Project (ADSP), Centrally-linked longitudinal peripheral biomarkers of AD in multi-ethnic populations (CLEAR-AD), Artificial Intelligence for Alzheimer's Disease (AI4AD), Alzheimer's Disease Metabolomics Consortium (ADMC), Accelerating Medicines Partnership Program for Alzheimer's disease (AMP-AD), and Model Organism Development & Evaluation for Late-Onset Alzheimer's disease (MODEL-AD).

Requirements

Successful applicants will have strong academic preparation (PhD, MD, or MD/PhD in a relevant discipline), high motivation and enthusiasm for research, excellent written and oral communication skills including evidence of successful manuscript writing and publication productivity, strong intellectual curiosity, creativity, flexibility, a commitment to the scientific goals of the program, desire to make a contribution, and the ability to work independently and as part of a collaborative transdisciplinary team, which includes mentoring graduate and undergraduate students.

Preference will be given to candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
human genetics, multi-omics data analysis including RNA-Seq, and systems biology/network analysis. Strong data science skills are required.

Applicants who have recently completed their terminal degree and plan to develop an independent research career are especially encouraged to apply.

Applications from groups underrepresented in biomedical research are strongly encouraged to apply.

Application Instructions

Applicants must currently reside in the U.S. and/or be eligible to begin work in the U.S. Review of applicants will continue until the positions are filled.

Please email a cover letter with a brief description of research experience, interests and goals, full CV, and contact information for three references to Dr.
