Department:
36020000 - PHHP-COM EPIDEMIOLOGY
Classification Title:
Post Doctoral Associate
Job Description The Department of Epidemiology (http://epidemiology.phhp.ufl.edu/) is strategically situated within the College of Public Health and Health Professions (PHHP) and the College of Medicine. Faculty members are jointly appointed to create synergies and collective strength, resulting in a competitive research profile and highly trained students who receive exceptional exposure to diverse expertise. Our faculty and students have received numerous national awards in research and mentoring and are committed to excellence in training. The department offers an epidemiology PhD, Master of Science, and concentration in the MPH program. It is also home to two National Institutes of Health Training grants (T32). Faculty members are strongly supported by our college-level instructional design team for course development and delivery and by our research core for grant development and submission.
Dr. Jinling Liu's laboratory (https://epidemiology.phhp.ufl.edu/profile/liu-jinling/) at the University of Florida's Department of Epidemiology and the Cener for Genetic Epidemiology and Bioinformatics (GeneBio) is accepting applications for 1‑2 fully‑funded postdoctoral associate positions, starting immediately. Dr. Liu has extensive experience in big data analytics, systems biology, probabilistic graphical models, causal inference and machine learning. Dr. Liu's research interests lie in modeling the rapidly‑accumulating big data (e.g., multi‑omics) in biology and medicine for precision medicine via a variety of statistical and machine learning techniques — one of her projects along these lines has been recently funded by a prestigious NIH Career Development Award for young investigators. She is committed to advancing precision medicine through her work. She is also collaborating with researchers in other domains for data analytics and decision making.
Liu lab has access to rich high‑dimensional multi‑omics data, including WGS, WES, DNA methylation, RNA‑seq, proteomics, lipidomics and metabolomics in large‑scale human populations. The lab is interested in integrating and mining the different types of data to understand the genomic causes and other biomarkers as well as the underlying signaling network for a variety of diseases including aging, cardiovascular diseases, brain diseases, cancer, and others, through novel statistical or deep learning methods development and application. The postdoctoral associates will be exposed to rich multi‑omics data, a variety of diseases, advanced statistical and machine learning methods and wide collaborations with experts from different fields.
