The Laboratory of Heart Disease Phenomics Heart Disease Phenomics, NHLBI/NIH is seeking a highly motivated Postdoctoral Fellow to join a multidisciplinary research program focused on the molecular, and environmental determinants of cardiometabolic diseases. The successful candidate will work at the interface of epidemiology, molecular biology, and computational science, leveraging large, deeply phenotyped cohorts and state-of-the-art biomarkers (including metabolomics, proteomics).
About the position
The fellow will lead team-based, collaborative projects aimed at identifying important novel biomarkers, understanding disease mechanisms, and developing integrative models of risk of disease occurrence and outcomes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Lead design of studies, data analyses, and manuscript preparation.
- Conduct molecular epidemiology analyses integrating multi-omics and clinical phenotypes.
- Design and execute statistical and computational workflows for large-scale datasets.
- Collaborate with clinicians, bioinformaticians, and external partners.
- Present findings at national and international scientific meetings.

Postdoctoral Fellow – Environmental, Molecular, and Genomic Epidemiology
There is limited understanding of the pathobiological mechanisms underlying how chemical compounds in the air and everyday consumer products influence lung disease and CVD onset. Dr. Wong leads epidemiologic studies to understand how these exposures -originating in the home, community, and workplace- influence disease pathogenesis through pathways involving DNA alterations. Dr. Wong is focused on identifying omics biomarkers of environmental exposures, disease risk, and genomic instability.
