An NIH-funded postdoctoral position is available in the Childhood Complex Disease Genomics Section (CCDGS), a new section in the Center for Precision Health Research (CPHR) at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) in Bethesda, Maryland under Dr. Neil Hanchard

The lab is studying a broad portfolio of childhood disorders, including severe undernutrition, sickle cell disease, and early-onset high blood pressure, through national and international collaborations. The successful candidate will therefore be responsible for conducting human disease-focused analyses by integrating detailed clinical data with genomic, transcriptomic, and epigenomic datasets derived from genome-wide genotyping and next-generation sequencing of participants from diverse ancestral backgrounds. The anticipated work also includes a unique opportunity to develop and expand novel methods of assessing and applying genome variation and diversity across a varied landscape of age-, phenotype-, and disease- models. Candidates with broad interests and backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
