NIH-funded Postdoctoral Research Scientist Position is available


A postdoctoral position in bioinformatics is available in Dr. Qing Wu's lab in the Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The Nevada Institute of Personalized Medicine was just awarded an $11.4M, 5-year Center of Biomedical Research Excellence P20 Grant from NIH in personalized medicine research. The successful candidate will play a key role in the development of research plans, execution, and analysis of projects involving “big data” including GWAS data, electronic medical records, and Federal-funded large cohort data. The successful candidate will assist the PI to conduct research including GWAS data management, imputation and analysis, deep learning, and big-data analysis in a collaborative medical research setting. In addition, the successful candidate will have the opportunity to be promoted to a research faculty. The successful candidate will work in collaborative teams to address critical health and medical issues in the community. These issues include access and affordability of health care and the prevalence of diseases such as osteoporosis, cancer, and diabetes.
