About this position
The University of Arizona is seeking a full-time Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Translational Neurosciences at the College of Medicine-Phoenix in Phoenix, Arizona. The position is based in the Laboratory of Myungjin Lee and focuses on omics-driven approaches to neurological and sensorineural disorders.
The postdoctoral researcher will conduct multidisciplinary research in neuroscience and genetics, develop and analyze experiments, and create and maintain bioinformatics pipelines for advanced omics data analysis. Responsibilities include analyzing genetics, transcriptomics, and epigenetic data; implementing AI tools on a high-performance computing cluster; performing quality control and variant interpretation; documenting analyses with good coding and version-control practices; and preparing data for publications, presentations, grant proposals, and funding applications.
Applicants must hold a PhD in Biology, Neuroscience, Computational Biology, Biostatistics, or a related field. Experience with R and Python is required. Preferred qualifications include next-generation sequencing analysis, high-computing cluster workflows, strong troubleshooting and documentation skills, effective communication, and a publication record in peer-reviewed journals.
The role offers a well-funded research environment, opportunities for high-impact publications and grant-funded research, NIH-guideline salary dependent on experience, full employee benefits, and visa sponsorship. Applications require a CV and cover letter. The position is open until filled.
