Postdoctoral Fellow (Hood)

The Hood group is seeking an outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow to work as part of an interdisciplinary

team that uses animal and human data to understand the biological underpinnings of longevity and

scientific wellness and to develop potential interventions that extend healthspan.

We are seeking applicants with diverse skillsets in systems biology and computational modeling along with familiarity with the biology of aging. This position may have opportunities to collaborate as a participant in the

Longevity Consortium a multidisciplinary inter-institutional research team funded by the NIA. Several

large multi-omic datasets are being developed by the Consortium including mass-spectrometry based

proteomics and metabolomics of mouse tissues and serum and human serum. With phenotypic

information and external datasets these data will be used to define the pathways that are critical for

longevity and related outcomes. Opportunities to contribute to other projects related more generally to

scientific wellness also exist. Major emphases will include identifying proteomic and metabolomic

signatures that are associated with longevity and scientific wellness as well as using systems-oriented

methods to identify the major pathways involved. This effort will require creative use of state-of-the-art

data integration harmonization and statistical approaches. Exceptional candidates will be considered for

the Lee Hood Systems Fellows Program.

Qualifications : Applicants must have (or soon be granted) a PhD and successful candidates will

have cross-disciplinary training in systems biology computational biology biostatistics applied

mathematics or a related field. Experience with human research is desired but not required.

Strong analytical skills a track record demonstrating scientific creativity excellent communication skills

and the potential to thrive in an interdisciplinary research environment are essential.

Applicants should include a CV and a brief (one page) cover letter summarizing their background and

future research interests.

All ISB staff members are expected to have baseline technical skills and the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately over email the intranet / forum etc. Employees should be able to use Word Excel Outlook and PowerPoint at a functional level.

Benefits : Postdoctoral Fellows are paid on a scale depending on experience - $77969 - and $95787
