Post Doc in Alzhiemer's and infectious disease resilience and pathogenesis
Harvard Medical School/Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
USA-MA
A postdoctoral traineeship is offered in Alzheimer’s resilience and pathogenesis. With the goal of understanding the spatial-temporal relationships of pathways activated in disease, we employ a pathway-disease-drug-network to reveal the relationships of key pathway signatures to drug responses.
You will apprehend and curate Alzheimer’s disease datasets to synthesize molecular signatures and build integrative models of disease and resilience. mRNAs, miRNAs, ncRNAs, single-cell and tissue-level transcriptomes and omics.
A major role will be to predict, test, and provide prioritized intervention strategies, such as drugs, miRNAs and potential diagnostics.
Qualifications
PhD in a quantitative field related to bioinformatics (e.g. with a specialization in bioinformatics related to genetics, neurosciences, disease modelling, pathway modelling)
Extensive experience working with multi-omic datasets
Ability to generate computational disease models and hypotheses
Superb communication skills
Ability to work independently and as part of a team
Ability to drive a research project from design stages to data analysis, figure preparation and manuscript writing
A passion for scientific research
