Postdoctoral Fellowship in
Precision Health and Epidemiology
The Institute for Population and
Precision Health at the University of Chicago integrates
developments in genomics, bioinformatics, information
technologies, and data science within the context of a broader
population health research perspective to improve disease
prevention and health promotion while addressing health
disparities in Chicago and beyond. In applying emerging
precision medicine technologies and methods at a population
level, the IPPH brings together approaches from a variety of
disciplines to consider the impact of genomics, the microbiome,
the environment, societal factors, and the implications of
preventive and population health policies. This position for
post doctoral fellow involves research on precision health,
epidemiology and population health as part of ongoing
projects. Fellows will lead analysis and manuscript production
on a variety of topics with a focus on chronic disease, the
environment, and genomics. Successful candidates will have
strong methodological skills and an interest in precision
health and data science and AI/ML applications in
environmental, genetic and chronic disease epidemiology.
Postdoctoral fellows work with dedicated mentors in a dynamic,
multidisciplinary research environment where they receive
training in epidemiology and precision health method and
manuscript/grant writing. Fellows are encouraged to pursue
career development activities, present at professional
conferences, develop independent research projects, and apply
for a K99/R00 or other research grants. The ideal candidate
will have a PhD, MD or equivalent graduate degree in
epidemiology, medicine, biostatistics/data-science, or related
field. Programming and data analytic skills as well as strong
written and oral communication skills are required. This is a
two-year position with the opportunity to renew for multiple
years.
Qualifications:
Ph.D. or MD with a strong background
in epidemiology, longitudinal data analysis, survival
analysis, risk prediction, and manipulation of large
datasets. Expertise in biomarkers, the environment, and
genomics is also a strength. A demonstrated ability to work
both independently as well as collaboratively with a
multi-disciplinary and diverse team is important.
Key words:
