Job description
The Channing Division of Network Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School is looking for postdoctoral fellowship candidates to advance genomic research in the study of lung diseases. Our group has led extensive collaborative genetic and multi-omic studies in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the third leading cause of death worldwide, and interstitial lung disease, identifying novel genetic associations, disease genes, and pathways.
Responsibilities
The fellow will work on R01-funded projects leveraging cohorts COPDGene, LTRC, and other multi-omic studies in the Trans-Omics in Precision Medicine (TOPMed) Program. Projects include single- and multi-trait common and rare variant genetic association analysis; polygenic and other omic risk scores; lung micro-RNA and metabolomics; single cell ATAC- and RNA-Seq; applications of gene regulatory networks; and disease subtypes. The candidate will work with Dr. Michael Cho, Associate Professor of Medicine, as part of an interdisciplinary and multi-institutional team, including genetic epidemiologists, biostatisticians, computer scientists, physicians, and molecular biologists.
Qualifications
Qualified candidates should have a Ph.D. in epidemiology, biostatistics, bioinformatics, or a related quantitative field, with previous experience in analyzing large-scale omics data and strong programming skills in R / Bioconductor or Python. M.D.s with quantitative expertise are also encouraged to apply. Candidates should also have excellent communication (oral and written) and documentation skills, adhere to reproducible research standards, work well in teams, and interact with all levels of staff.
Qualified candidates should submit their CV, the names of two references, and a cover letter to Dr. Michael Cho (michael.cho@channing.harvard.edu). Promising candidates will be invited for interviews and a presentation.
Brigham and Women's Hospital is a major teaching affiliate of Harvard Medical School and part of Mass General Brigham, the largest recipient of NIH funding among independent hospitals. The Division of Network Medicine is a research division within the Department of Medicine whose goal is to define the etiology and reclassify complex diseases using network- and systems-based approaches. This group includes some of the largest population-based and pulmonary cohorts in the world and an outstanding track record of mentoring.
