Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation
Associate Research Scientist (Post-Doctoral)*- Arthritis and Immunology
Swapan K. Nath, Ph.D., Associate Member

We are currently accepting applications for positions at the level of
post doctoral fellow to join our research team. We are funded for
projects in genetic epidemiology of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
Ongoing projects include family studies (both genome-wide linkage and
association), population-based case-control association (genome-wide as
well as candidate gene) studies using high density SNP Arrays
(Affymetrix and Illumina), and admixture mapping using high density
Ancestry Informative Marker (AIM) panel. We offer an excellent
team-oriented research environment and opportunities for career
advancement. Our team has a high throughput molecular laboratory and a
strong array of analytical computing resources. A candidate should have
a doctoral degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics,
bioinformatics, statistics, computer science or related fields. The
successful applicant is expected to have a strong interest in genetic
epidemiology of complex traits and will have experience in both the
application/implementation of established methods for genetic linkage
and association studies, and in methods development. Therefore,
knowledge of statistical genetic methods for gene-mapping for complex
traits, and computer programming skills (e.g. familiarity with UNIX-like
OS, at least one programming language) are required.

*Applicants must be capable of a full range of body positions and
movements including, but not limited to, standing, walking, sitting,
climbing, bending/stooping, squatting, twisting, and reaching. Moreover,
fine motor skills and sense of touch are necessary to carry out the many
procedures associated with the job, some of which could be dangerous
without full or nearly full motor and sensory attributes, including
hearing and vision.
