Fully funded RA/PhD/Postdoc Indiana University Biostatistics

Company Information Housed in Richard M. Fairbanks School of Public Health and Indiana University School of Medicine, the Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science possesses an uncommon ability to connect the widest possible range of people, disciplines, and ideas that reflect the modern U.S. health care environment and delivery models, readying students to practice medicine in a team-based, interdisciplinary setting. Supporting the largest medical school in the United States, the Department of Biostatistics and Health Data Science hosts a new breed of scientists, drawing on every discipline, pursuing groundbreaking talent, and novel technology, whatever its origin.  

Duties and Responsibilities.  Indiana University invites applications for a full-time fully funded RA/PhD/Postdoc in Biostatistics and Data Science (IU School of Medicine ). The successful candidate will develop novel, scalable statistical and computational methods for high-dimensional and complex biomedical data, with particular emphasis on network science, high-dimensional statistical modeling, neuroimaging, multi-omics analysis, multimodal data integration, and statistical machine learning. The selected candidate will contribute to an NIH R01-funded research program led by Dr. Selena Wang, with approximately $3.9 million in research funding, focused on developing innovative statistical frameworks for integrating multiscale molecular and neural networks. This research aims to advance our understanding of complex biological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease, psychiatric disorders, and mental health conditions. The position offers opportunities to pursue methodological research, contribute to high-impact interdisciplinary projects, and collaborate with investigators across Indiana University and other leading research institutions. The successful candidate will work in a highly collaborative environment at the intersection of statistical methodology, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and biomedical research.

Position Qualifications The quantified candidates should have or about to have a bachelor’s degree in biostatistics, bioengineering, data science, computer science or a related quantitative area, and be able to start this position in summer or Fall 2027.

Application Instructions Send an email to Dr. Selena Wang (selewang@iu.edu) with your CV/resume and a brief description of your background and interest.
