Department Name/Job Location: This position is in the Department of Psychiatry. This position is for the Medical School Campus. Essential Functions: The NeuroGenetics and Informatics (NGI) center at Washington University School of Medicine is recruiting a Postdoctoral Research Associate. The NGI generates and analyzes high-throughput multi-dimensional omic data to study neurodegeneration and diseases of the central nervous system with emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other dementias. The ultimate goal of the NGI is to understand the biology of these diseases, to define novel biomarkers, and to identify novel therapeutic targets. Washington University School of Medicine is renowned for its research cohorts of neurodegenerative disorders, which include clinical, neuroimaging, and fluid biomarker phenotypes. We have recently received several awards from the NIH, Department of Defense and private foundations to generate new molecular tools to predict and monitor neurodegenerative disease. The final goal is to create a highly specific and minimally invasive tool that can be translated to a clinical setting. We are seeking highly motivated researchers with strong analytical skills, especially in RNAseq analyses and machine learning to lead the analyses for these projects. The new postdoc will join a large and highly motivated multi-disciplinary team. For further details, please see our website: https://neurogenomics.wustl.edu/. Required Qualifications:
