Posting Summary
The Postdoctoral Research Associate will join a multidisciplinary research team focused on cognitive aging and Alzheimers Disease and related dementias ( ADRD ). This position provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge research at the intersection of neurodegeneration cognition and novel biomarkers for early detection of disease. The successful candidate will play a key role in ongoing and developing ADRD studies of deeply phenotyped participants at high ADRD . Bloods are collected longitudinally and assessed for different types of omics. The postdoc will work closely with the PI and a team of neuropsychologists neurologists and cognitive neuroscientists from the Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Alzheimers Research Center. This postdoctoral fellowship will be in close collaboration with Dr. Yasser Iturria-Medinas Neuroinformatics for Personalized Medicine lab in McGill University Canada. Applicants must have experience working with computational modeling and multi-omics analysis in neurodegeneration. Ideal candidates will have a background in the biomedical neurosciences such as biomedical engineering data science computational sciences neurobiology psychology epidemiology cognitive neuroscience and an interest in studying the earliest stages of Alzheimers disease. The Postdoc will participate in lab meetings research-in-progress seminars and presentations at conferences. They will prepare manuscripts based on their research aid in developing the PIs grant applications and will be expected to apply for personal grant funding.
