Post-Doc Research Associate (Raffield)

The Raffield Lab would like to host a postdoctoral research scholar to investigate the health consequences of common hematological related variants such as sickle cell trait using genomic, multi-omic, and epidemiological analysis methods. Such variants may have important implications for cardiometabolic health across the life course, but further study is needed. The scholar will utilize large scale genomic datasets in heterogeneous cohorts and biobanks, as well as detailed molecular phenotyping data from single cell RNA-sequencing, proteomics, and other data sources. This position will provide training opportunities in genetic epidemiology and prepare the recruited scholar for the next stage in their academic career.

The position requires skills in genetic epidemiology, presentation and publication preparation, and effective data analysis and management.

Preferred experience with hematological trait genetics and epidemiology.
