Postdoctoral Fellow Position In Statistical Genetics/Genetic Epidemiology
The Department of Biostatistics and Epidemiology at the University of Oklahoma Health Science Center invites applications for a postdoctoral fellowship, available immediately, in statistical genetics/genetic epidemiology. The position will focus on mapping genes for cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors in the investigation of major genetic effects as well as gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in both genome-wide association and pathway-based genetic analyses.
A suitable candidate is required to hold a PhD in statistical genetics, biostatistics, genetics, epidemiology or a related field. The successful applicant is expected to have a strong interest in the genetic epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases and their risk factors. Experience in human genetic studies of complex traits and advanced computer skills (e.g., programming languages, statistical genetic methods, and familiarity with UNIX-like operating systems) are required. The candidate is also required to have ability for independent and critical thinking and possess excellent writing skills in the English language. Knowledge of bioinformatics, experience with handling massive datasets and publications in genetic epidemiology are off added benefits. Starting salary will be commensurate with training and experience.
Interested candidates should send curriculum vitae, a brief letter indicating relevant experience and prior academic record, and contact information of three references to
