About this position

This postdoctoral research opportunity is based at the University of Southern California within the USC Center for Genetic Epidemiology and focuses on genetic and cancer epidemiology. The project is led by Dr. Fei Chen, with collaboration from Dr. Christopher Haiman and Dr. David Conti, placing the scholar in a strong interdisciplinary environment spanning genetics, epidemiology, and cancer research.

The role centers on understanding how genetic variation, together with non-genetic factors, shapes the risk, survival, and disparities of common cancers. The postdoctoral scholar will analyze data from large-scale genetic association studies, including GWAS and sequencing datasets drawn from major consortia and resources such as the RESPOND Study, UK Biobank, and All of Us. A second major component of the work examines lifestyle and dietary factors and their associations with cancer outcomes using data from the Multiethnic Cohort Study.

The advertised work is strongly research-oriented and emphasizes rigorous analysis of human genetic data, with special attention to cancers including prostate cancer, breast cancer, and multiple primary malignancies. The scholar will also contribute to presentation of findings and manuscript preparation, making this a good fit for someone aiming to deepen expertise in genetic epidemiology and publish in a high-level research environment.

The position sits within USC’s broader research university setting in Los Angeles and is embedded in a collaborative team structure. The advert highlights a need for strong scientific motivation and the ability to work closely with senior investigators on complex genetic epidemiology questions.

Funding details

Annual base salary range: $70,000-$72,000.

What's required

Applicants must have a Ph.D. or equivalent qualification. Training in epidemiology, biostatistics, and/or statistical genetics is required or strongly preferred. Proficiency in one or more programming languages such as R or Python, familiarity with genetic research tools such as PLINK, SAIGE, and imputation, and experience with Unix-based computing environments are desirable but not required. Experience with genetic epidemiologic research and large genetic datasets is a plus. Strong motivation, willingness to learn, and excellent written and verbal communication skills are required.

How to apply

Submit a CV, a one-page cover letter describing your research interests, and contact information for 2-3 references through the USC application process. You may also send inquiry emails to Dr. Fei Chen at [email protected].
