Job Description:
Posting Summary The Postdoctoral Research Associate will join a
multidisciplinary research team focused on cognitive aging and
Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias ( ADRD ). This position
provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge
research at the intersection of neurodegeneration, cognition, and
novel biomarkers for early detection of disease. The successful
candidate will play a key role in ongoing and developing ADRD
studies of deeply phenotyped participants at high ADRD . Bloods are
collected longitudinally and assessed for different types of omics.
The postdoc will work closely with the PI and a team of
neuropsychologists, neurologists and cognitive neuroscientists from
the Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Alzheimer’s Research Center.
This postdoctoral fellowship will be in close collaboration with
Dr. Yasser Iturria-Medina’s Neuroinformatics for Personalized
Medicine lab in McGill University, Canada. Applicants must have
experience working with computational modeling and multi-omics
analysis in neurodegeneration. Ideal candidates will have a
background in the biomedical neurosciences such as biomedical
engineering, data science, computational sciences, neurobiology,
psychology, epidemiology, cognitive neuroscience, and an interest
in studying the earliest stages of Alzheimer’s disease. The Postdoc
will participate in lab meetings, research-in-progress seminars,
and presentations at conferences. They will prepare manuscripts
based on their research, aid in developing the PI’s grant
applications, and will be expected to apply for personal grant
funding. Overview About the Herbert and Jacqueline Krieger Klein
