Postdoctoral Fellowships in Genetic Epidemiology and Statistical Genetics

The newly established Miami Institute for Human Genomics (MIHG) in the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is seeking post-doctoral fellows interested in applied or theoretical aspects of quantitative methods in human disease gene mapping.

The interdisciplinary and highly-collaborative faculty of the MIHG aims to discover the genetic influences on human health and apply this knowledge to the practice of medicine through improved diagnostics, treatments, and medications. The faculty has a unique track-record identifying genetic risk factors for more than 60 diseases combined with currently available funding of more than $34 million from the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Department of Defense.

We are searching for post-doctoral fellows to join our cutting-edge research team with projects in the following areas:

Alzheimer disease, autism, multiple sclerosis, macular degeneration, tuberculosis, cleft lip and cleft palette.

Applicants should have experience in epidemiology, genetics and/or statistics. The ability to work in an interdisciplinary team is expected.

The Miami Institute for Human Genomics is located in the highly diverse and fast-growing metropolitan area of South Florida near to spectacular outdoor recreational opportunities. We offer competitive post-doctoral salaries and benefits.
