About this position
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Proteomics and Multiomics in Neurodegeneration at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU Medicine), Department of Psychiatry / NeuroGenomics and Informatics Center.
The Cruchaga lab is recruiting a fully funded postdoctoral fellow to study Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases using proteomics, multi-omics, and integrative analyses of brain, CSF, and blood datasets. The lab works on transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, genetics, biomarker discovery, and identification of causal/druggable targets, with emphasis on Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, dystonia, and related dementias.
Research projects include plasma, CSF, and brain proteomic analysis; biomarker identification using machine learning and AI; and integration of proteomics with genetic data using MR, coloc, and FUSION. The position is in a highly collaborative, multidisciplinary environment with a large team led by faculty and senior scientists.
Eligibility highlights: PhD, MD, or equivalent terminal degree; or a PhD in Genetics, Bioinformatics, Computer Science, Data Science, Statistical Genomics, or a related omics field. Applicants should have hands-on experience with large-scale human omics studies, strong programming skills in R/Python/Perl, Linux/HPC experience, and strong analytical reasoning. Preferred experience includes bioinformatics-related work.
Funding: fully funded; salary is commensurate with experience. No deadline is listed in the posting.
How to apply: submit the Workday application, then email a cover letter and CV to Pooja Arshanapally at [email protected]. The lab website and postdoc information page are linked in the posting for more details.
