job description:

We are currently accepting applications for positions at the level of post doctoral fellow to join our research team. We are funded for projects in genetic epidemiology of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). Ongoing projects include family studies (both genome-wide linkage and association), population-based case-control association (genome-wide as well as candidate gene) studies using high density SNP Arrays (Affymetrix and Illumina), and admixture mapping using high density Ancestry Informative Marker (AIM) panel. We offer an excellent team-oriented research environment and opportunities for career advancement. Our team has a high throughput molecular laboratory and a strong array of analytical computing resources.
OMRF is an independent, not-for-profit, biomedical research institute adjacent to the campus of the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC) in Oklahoma City. OMRF investigators enjoy close scientific interactions with OUHSC faculty and participate in OUHSC graduate programs.

*Minimum Qualifications: *

Ph.D., M.D., or Ph.D./M.D. A candidate should have a doctoral degree in epidemiology, biostatistics, genetics, bioinformatics, statistics, computer science or related fields. Knowledge of statistical genetic methods for gene-mapping for complex traits, and computer programming skills (e.g. familiarity with UNIX-like OS, and at least one programming language) are required.

*Preferred Qualifications: *

The successful applicant is expected to have a strong interest in genetic epidemiology of complex traits and will have experience in both the application/implementation of established methods for genetic linkage and association studies, and in methods development. Experience in genomics, cloning and functional characterization of genes will get preference.
