Responsibilities

The research lab of Dr. Ertekin-Taner MD PhD, in the Department of Neuroscience, is looking for a motivated postdoctoral Research Fellow to join their multidisciplinary team. The mission of the laboratory is to identify precision medicine therapies and biomarkers for neurodegenerative diseases through integrating large-scale multi-modal data from deeply phenotyped human cohorts with experimental validation to uncover disease mechanisms and precision medicine targets. The team includes PhD and MD scientists, bioinformatics specialists, experienced technologists, and trainees. The faculty plays an active role in supporting the training of staff and furthering career development.

The Research Fellow will join a multi-site NIH funded study leveraging systems biology approaches to analyze multiomics data to derive novel insights into Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and refine molecular disease targets.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with scientists and bioinformatics specialists across the team to tackle important and innovative research questions with opportunities to contribute to the following areas:

• Independent Methodology & Tool Development: Design, build, and deploy robust bioinformatics pipelines and custom software tools to answer specific, complex scientific questions rather than relying solely on existing frameworks.
• Integrative Multiomics Modeling: Lead the analytical execution of integrative omics strategies, bridging layers across different omics modalities including but not limited to whole-genome sequencing, single cell RNA sequencing, and spatial transcriptomics.
• Public Data Mining & Acquisition: Proactively identify, request, and safely transition massive external datasets into our data analytic pipelines for validation and replication analyses.
• Cloud & Infrastructure Management: Deploy, scale, and manage large-scale computational workflows across Cloud Environments and hybrid on-premises high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
• Scientific Communication: Author high-impact publications, present methodology and discoveries at major international scientific meetings, and contribute to the drafting of grant proposals.

Qualifications

Motivated scientist with a strong work ethic and excellent training with a Ph.D. in Bioinformatics, Computational Biology, Statistical Genetics, Biostatistics, Computer Science, or a closely related quantitative discipline, or a PhD in Neuroscience or related fields with relevant computational experience.

A proven track record of designing analytical strategies and developing novel tools/pipelines to solve open-ended biological questions.

Working knowledge and direct experience operating within cloud infrastructures, containerization (Docker, Singularity), and workflow managers (Nextflow, Snakemake).

Research Fellow is appropriate for individuals who have completed no more than one prior postdoctoral fellowship, at Mayo Clinic or elsewhere.
