Research Scientist in Epigenetics and Multiomics
2 weeks ago
A postdoctoral research opportunity is available at the University of Southern California within the Center for Genetic Epidemiology, focusing on epigenetics and single-cell multiomics. The successful candidate will collaborate closely with Dr. Chang (April) Shu to conduct statistical analyses of epigenetic and single-cell multiomics datasets derived from both epidemiological and clinical research.
Research FocusThe Shu Lab is dedicated to unraveling the genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to mental and behavioral disorders through advanced machine learning and statistical methodologies. The selected candidate will engage in the analysis of DNA methylation and single-cell multiomics data to:
- Identify differentially methylated, accessible, or expressed genomic regions.
- Develop predictive biomarkers related to maternal psychosocial factors and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children.
The candidate will have access to the Maternal and Developmental Risks from Environmental and Social Stressors (MADRES) study, as well as clinical studies conducted at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. This position is designed for a minimum duration of two years, with the possibility of annual renewal based on performance.
Compensation and AdvancementWe offer a competitive salary starting above the NIH postdoctoral baseline (≥ $70,000), with flexibility in start dates. Exceptional candidates may have the opportunity to progress to a staff scientist or faculty role within the Center for Genetic Epidemiology.
QualificationsApplicants should possess a Ph.D. (or equivalent qualification) in genetics, epidemiology, biostatistics, computer science, bioinformatics, computational biology, or a related discipline. Required skills include:
- Proficiency in programming languages such as R or Python.
- Experience in a Unix-based computing environment is preferred.
- Familiarity with analyzing epigenetic or single-cell datasets is advantageous.
Interested candidates should submit a CV, a statement of interest, and contact information for two or three references. All applications will be treated with confidentiality and in accordance with USC's policies.
