| Company Information:
The John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is dedicated to using the very latest in cutting-edge technologies to identify genes involved in human diseases for the diagnosis, intervention and prevention of illness. Our work ranges broadly across many scientific disciplines and involves close collaboration with the global community of scientists and medical professionals, as well as the community at large. Our scientists are among the first generation of researchers realizing the potential of the Human Genome Project, the working genetic “map” of human DNA that was completed in 2003. They are leaders in the application of clinical, molecular, and mathematical techniques to identify genes leading to human disease.
Position Title:
Postdoctoral Fellowships in Genetic Epidemiology of Complex Human Diseases
Duties & Responsibilities:
The Hussman Institute for Human Genomics (HIHG) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is seeking post-doctoral fellows interested in joining our cutting-edge research team. This position affords the opportunity to work with Drs. Margaret Pericak-Vance, William Scott, Eden Martin, and Gary Beecham on one of several projects examining the genetic epidemiology of complex diseases, including age-related macular degeneration, Parkinson disease, and Alzheimer disease. The interdisciplinary and highly-collaborative faculty of the HIHG aims to discover the genetic influences on human health and apply this knowledge to the practice of medicine through improved diagnostics, treatments, and medications. The faculty has a unique track-record identifying genetic risk factors for more than 60 diseases combined with currently available funding of more than $34 million from the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Defense. Ongoing projects include large-scale genomics datasets including genome wide association and next generation sequencing data as well as participation in international research consortia.
Position Qualifications:
Ph.D. required. Applicants should have experience in epidemiology, computational genetics, and/or statistics. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team is expected.
Salary Range:
We offer competitive post-doctoral salaries and benefits.
