Postdoctoral Fellowship Leveraging Neuroimaging and Human Genomic Techniques to Study Alzheimer's Disease
Neurology | |
The Vanderbilt Memory & Alzheimer’s Center and Vanderbilt Genetics Institute is pleased to announce an opening for a full-time post-doctoral fellow to carry out imaging genetics research with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease. The fellow will be involved in an active, NIH-funded clinical research program, leveraging data from the Alzheimer’s Disease Genetics Consortium (ADGC) and multiple longitudinal cohort studies of Alzheimer's disease. The research portfolio emphasizes sex differences in the genetic predictors of Alzheimer’s disease, and “asymptomatic” Alzheimer's disease in which participants present with all the neuropathological features of AD but without cognitive impairment. The fellow will contribute to large-scale analyses, including developing and honing expertise in bioinformatic, proteomic, and genomic analytical techniques. The fellow will be responsible for generating manuscripts relating available 'omic data to the extensive phenotype data available, including autopsy and in vivo biomarkers of neuropathology. More details of our research program can be found at Vanderbilt Memory & Alzheimer’s Center. |
