Application Instructions: Applicants are responsible for including a cover letter, CV, and the names of three professional references in the application through the Interfolio website, https://apply.interfolio.com/72796. Emailed applications will not be accepted.

Applications will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis for a reserve pool.  Applications in the reserve pool may then be reviewed in the order in which they were received until the position is filled. They will continue on a biweekly basis until the position is filled.

Description

The Edson postdoctoral research scholar will have a primary mentor in the NDRC, but will have the opportunity to collaborate with other investigators. The selected candidate will work on projects utilizing highly dimensional genomic data, especially next-generation sequencing data for multilevel "omics" data analyses, with a focus on the identification of genes/drug targets implicated in neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer's disease. 

Essential Duties:

• Write and optimize computational pipelines (scripts) for whole genome/exome sequencing, RNA-seq, and/or microarray.
• Organize, prepare and analyze data; develop hypotheses to be tested and ways of testing it.
• Prepare and present the results of research, in scientific conferences and journals.
• Assist with grant preparation and reporting.
• A background check is required for employment. Arizona State University is a VEVRAA Federal Contractor and an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer. All qualified applicants will be considered without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other basis protected by law.
