Using whole genome searches, the Nath Lab has identified several genes and genetic variants associated with lupus susceptibility. They are also following up on several genetic loci with experiments to understand the specific functional effects of these lupus-associated genetic variants, using cell lines and patient-derived primary immune cells or tissues. This involves applying various modern techniques for studying features of three-dimensional (3D) genomic organization, such as 3C, Hi-C, ChIP-Seq, and genome editing using CRISPR/Cas9. The role involves analyzing human genetic and genomic data and developing computational methods, requiring a blend of computational skills, statistical knowledge, creativity, and biological insight. Key tasks include identifying novel therapeutic targets and biomarkers by investigating human genetic variation (GWAS, Next Gen Sequencing) and integrating GWAS summary results with other data types like eQTL, mQTL, and functional genomic annotations. Preference will be given to candidates with thorough knowledge and experience in GWAS data analysis. The candidate will also estimate heritability, perform Mendelian Randomization, and conduct fine mapping.

Qualifications

Applicants should have a Ph.D., M.D., or M.D./Ph.D. (or expect to receive a doctoral degree soon).
