Job

Postdoctoral Fellow - Immunoepidemiology

Organization

National Institute on Aging, Baltimore, MD

Scientific focus area

Epidemiology, Immunology

The National Institute on Aging (NIA), Laboratory of Epidemiology and Population Sciences, located in Baltimore, MD, is recruiting a postdoctoral fellow to join the research group of Minkyo Song, M.D., Ph.D., Tenure-Track Investigator in the Immunoepidemiology Unit (https://irp.nih.gov/pi/minkyo-song). The group studies autoimmunity and aging, focusing on the etiologic role of autoimmune diseases in aging and age-related diseases.

About the position

This position offers opportunities to explore multiple approaches to defining autoimmunity, including ICD codes, claims information (e.g., diagnosis and treatment), and biomarkers (e.g., autoantibodies), and to investigate their associations with aging-related phenotypes and diseases. The research group uses a broad range of study designs and analytic approaches, including longitudinal cohort studies, pharmacoepidemiologic methods, and immunoproteomics analyses. The fellow will lead or co-lead national and international collaborative projects, design and implement analytical strategies for longitudinal and high-dimensional data, and work closely with multidisciplinary experts including biologists, clinicians, and statisticians. Opportunities to mentor postbaccalaureate and summer students will be available.
