PhD Student and Postdoctoral Fellowships in Genomics, Bioinformatics, and Metabolomics of Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes

Exciting opportunities are available for PhD students and postdoctoral fellows to join the research group of Ruth Gutierrez-Aguilar at the Unidad de Investigación en Obesidad, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM/INCMNSZ). The lab focuses on cutting-edge research in genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, and biostatistics, with a particular emphasis on obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Candidates will have the chance to investigate genetic variants in the Mexican population that are associated with obesity and T2D, aiming to understand their function and physiological impact on these diseases. Applicants should have a strong background in one or more of the following areas: genomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, bioinformatics, or biostatistics. Preference will be given to those with a demonstrated interest in obesity and type 2 diabetes research. The research environment offers access to state-of-the-art facilities and a collaborative team dedicated to advancing knowledge in metabolic diseases and genetic epidemiology. While specific funding details are not provided in the announcement, interested candidates are encouraged to contact the supervisor directly for more information. The positions are ideal for highly motivated individuals seeking to contribute to impactful research on the genetic and physiological mechanisms underlying obesity and T2D in the Mexican population. To apply, send your CV to [email protected] and highlight your relevant expertise and research interests. For more information about the lab and ongoing projects, you may refer to the supervisor's LinkedIn profile or the university's website.
