We are seeking for applicants for the Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute. The Ng lab focus on studies of the genetic architecture of cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, obesity and cardiovascular diseases, and have particular interest in admixed population of African ancestry. We collaborate extensively with national and international consortia. Projects include genome-wide associations, whole exome/genome sequencing, gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, and metabolomics studies. The successful candidate will have opportunity to work on large-scale consortium datasets, and the EHR-linked Vanderbilt Biobank (BioVU) and the Million Veteran Program (MVP). He/she will work in a team environment. He/she will apply existing genetics, statistics and bioinformatics tool and/or develop new methods such as machine learning to analyze data from these studies. A primary role will be contributing to the design, implementation, manuscript preparation of research projects and assist grant writing. Applicants must hold a PhD degree in genetics, epidemiology, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, biostatistics, computer science or related fields. Statistical and programming skill such as SAS, R, python, perl and use of UNIX/LINUX is required. Experience in genetic and bioinformatics data analysis is desirable. |
