Organization
National Human Genome Research Institute, Bethesda, MD and surrounding area
Scientific focus area
Computational Biology
The National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), a major research component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), is seeking exceptional candidates for a Research Fellow position in the Intramural Research Program (IRP), Center for Genomics and Data Science Research (CGDSR), Cyberinfrastructure and Artificial Intelligence Platforms Section (CAIP).
About the position
The CAIP seeks a fellow to work closely with electronic health record data, genomic information, and AI technologies to predict the cause, severity, and outcomes of human diseases. The Research Fellow’s primary responsibilities will be to provide computational expertise in machine learning and biomedical informatics to a portfolio of research projects generally focused on solving challenges in human genetic disease diagnosis and treatment. Use of EHR Common Data Models, such as OMOP, molecular biological data such as protein structures, genome sequences, and curated information on human genetic disease. Techniques to be employed include machine learning approaches, generation of synthetic datasets (using generative adversarial networks and related methods), and computational workflows in the cloud. The Research fellow will likely be experienced in biostatistical techniques as well as extensive computer science training in machine learning. Duties expected will include building and maintaining collaborations with investigators and in helping coordinate consortia of investigators working together to solve difficult and important biomedical problems. The fellow will also be expected to mentor other laboratory staff and trainees.

Staff Scientist I
The RNA Molecular Biology Laboratory (RMBL) studies the impact of RNA binding proteins (RBPs) on posttranscriptional gene regulation (PTGR). PTGR summarizes various processes acting upon coding and non-coding RNA and includes RNA maturation, ribonucleoprotein (RNP) assembly, transport, translation, and turnover. Members of the RMBL focus on elucidating the function and molecular mechanisms of RNA binding proteins involved in RNA transport, RNA stability and turnover, and RNA translation.
