The University of Chicago – Postdoc Fellow
Company Information: The University of Chicago’s Department of Public Health Sciences seeks a postdoc in Biostatistics and epidemiology. Public Health Sciences faculty carry out independent research, collaborative research, and education of undergraduate, graduate, and/or medical students and fellows.
Position Title: Postdoc Fellow
Duties and Responsibilities: The Department of Public Health Sciences at the University of Chicago seeks candidates for a fully-funded postdoctoral position in the area of molecular and genetic epidemiology with special focus on multiple myeloma. In applying emerging precision medicine technologies and methods, our large-scale epidemiology studies and clinical trials integrate genomics, epigenomics, bioinformatics, machine learning, and epidemiology to improve myeloma prevention and management. Existing resources include data from GWAS, quantitative imaging, genome-wide methylation in tumor cells and circulating cell-free DNA, epidemiology questionnaires, clinical and laboratory data, as well as biological samples. The fellow will lead analysis and manuscript production on the impact of tumor and clinical features, genetics, epigenetics, and lifestyle and environmental factors on risk and outcomes of multiple myeloma and/or lymphoma. The postdoctoral scholar will also have an active role in ongoing research on liquid biopsy-based cancer biomarker development and have opportunities to initiate new projects and/or develop grant proposals.
Position Qualifications: Successful candidates will have strong epidemiology and biostatistics methodological skills (e.g., Bayesian modeling) and experiences in genetic, epigenetic, and clinical epidemiology. The ideal candidate will have a PhD or equivalent graduate degree in epidemiology, biostatistics/data-science, computer science, machine learning, or related field. Understanding of epigenetics, genetics, and epidemiology is required, so are programming and data analytic skills in R, SAS, or STAT as well as excellent writing and oral communication skills. The postdoctoral fellow will work with dedicated mentors in a dynamic, multidisciplinary research environment. The fellow is encouraged to pursue career development activities, present at professional conferences, develop independent research projects, and apply for K99/R00 or other research grants. This is a two-year position with the opportunity to renew for multiple years.
Salary Range: Compensation are dependent upon qualifications.
