CZI Post Doctoral Fellow
Inside Higher Ed
Location: Washington, DC
Job Overview Howard University is seeking to hire a Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate the genetic underpinnings of health disparities and develop strategies to address them. The role involves studying genetic variations associated with disease susceptibility, exploring the impact of genetic factors on treatment responses and medication efficacy, and examining gene-environment interactions.
Principal Accountabilities
Designing studies and conducting genomic sequencing (e.g., whole genome sequencing, Sanger sequencing, SNP genotyping).
Analyzing data, interpreting findings, publishing and presenting results; collaborating with others to address health disparities.
Applying a multidisciplinary approach combining genomics, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and social sciences to analyze complex factors.
Working with large-scale genomic datasets (GWAS, next-generation sequencing, EHR) to identify genetic variants or biomarkers associated with health disparities.
Assisting with additional research duties as needed.
Engaging in a 1–3 year postdoctoral tenure, advancing research skills, publishing, and building a foundation for future career.
Participating actively in research group meetings, seminars, conferences; coordinating on‑site and virtual meetings.
Core Competencies
Manage time and projects independently; mentor trainees; perform administrative tasks as required.
Travel as needed to collaborate on project objectives.
Write scientific reports, manuscripts, and grant proposals.
Organize seminars and lectures for the project and wider communities.
Respond to communications from the Principal Investigator and follow direction.
Minimum Requirements A Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral degree in genomics, genetics, molecular biology, bioinformatics, public health, or related field. Proficiency in computational tools such as Chimera or PyMOL and programming experience in Python, Fortran, or C is desired.
Benefits
Health & Wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision insurance and mental health support.
Work‑Life Balance: PTO, paid holidays, flexible work arrangements.
Financial Wellness: Competitive salary; 403(b) with company match.
Professional Development: Ongoing training, tuition reimbursement, career advancement paths.
Additional Perks: Wellness programs, commuter benefits, vibrant company culture.
Employment Type Full-time
