Columbia University – Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Company Information: The Department of Biostatistics at Columbia University invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellow to work under the mentorship of Dr. Zhonghua Liu (Assistant Professor). The successful candidate will develop cutting-edge statistical methods at the intersection of causal inference, machine learning, and multi-omics data science, with applications to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.
This position offers the opportunity to lead methodological research on scalable causal inference for multi-omics data, leveraging vast genomic datasets to uncover molecular mechanisms of complex diseases. The fellow will collaborate with interdisciplinary teams across Columbia and partner institutions, benefiting from a vibrant research environment at the Mailman School of Public Health (located in Manhattan, NYC).
Position Title: Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Duties and Responsibilities: The postdoctoral fellow will conduct methodological research to develop novel statistical and machine learning approaches for scalable causal inference in high-dimensional multi-omics data (including genomics, proteomics, and metabolomics), with applications to neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Key tasks include designing and implementing computational tools to identify causal disease mechanisms and publishing methodological advances in high-impact journals. The fellow will collaborate with biologists and clinicians to analyze large-scale multi-omics datasets, translate statistical innovations into biological insights, and present findings at conferences and research meetings.
Position Qualifications: Key Qualifications:
• A Ph.D. in Statistics, Biostatistics, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, or a related quantitative field.
• Strong methodological background in causal inference, machine learning, or omics data analysis.
• Proficiency in R and/or Python for statistical computing.
• Prior experience with large-scale genomics or multi-omics data is preferred.
Salary Range: $71,050-$85,000
Benefits: For benefits, please visit the Columbia University Office of Postdoctoral Affairs website at https://research.columbia.edu/office-postdoctoral-affairs for details.
