Job Description
Computational Postdoctoral Associate
Carter Lab
Bar Harbor ME or Farmington CT
This position will be focused on a new collaborative project to characterize donorderived organoid models and assess their utility in precision medicine approaches to treating Alzheimers disease. This process encompasses a range of computational and systems biology approaches including big data analysis through dimensional reduction inference of disease relevance by comparison to matched human data and pharmacogenomic analysis of targeted therapies. This project is embedded in a broader set of studies using mouse and nonhuman primate models to enable unique crossspecies analysis to accelerate the discovery of treatments for dementia.
We are especially interested in candidates with systems biology expertise seeking to develop innovative ideas in translational data analysis. Our collaborative consortiumbased environment provides a rich data environment and opportunities for followup experimentation. We are dedicated to open science and establishing an inclusive culture to expand our vision of scientific progress.
The Jackson Laboratory provides excellent educational and training opportunities for JAX Postdoctoral Associates. Exceptional candidates are encouraged to apply for the prestigious JAX Scholar award which supports promising earlycareer postdoctoral associates conducting cutting edge biomedical and basic biological research at JAX. The award includes an independent research and travel budget and a salary above our standard postdoctoral scale.
To apply please submit 1 a cover letter outlining research accomplishments and interests 2 a current CV and 3 names and contact information for three references.
Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will perform independent computational analyses of multiple data sets to prioritize molecular hypotheses of Alzheimers disease development. They will document and report results to center colleagues for collaborative experimental validation. They will lead efforts to disseminate research results including all data and analysis via publications data sharing and presentations to consortium peers and at scientific meetings. Postdocs are also expected to participate in the broader Jackson Laboratory community to foster their career development and progression.
