Postdoc summary/title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Microbiome Analysis Core

The Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health Microbiome Analysis Core is seeking a data analyst, either MSc or PhD level, for microbiome epidemiology and bioinformatics. The Microbiome Analysis Core, located in the Department of Biostatistics, supports a comprehensive computational and statistical platform for population studies of the human microbiome, its interaction with health and disease, and methods for data mining and machine learning in multi-omic data. This job will entail work with the Microbiome Analysis Core personnel applying and extending microbiome informatics and statistical methods, developed in the Huttenhower lab (e.g. MetaPhlAn, HUMAnN) as well as standards in the field (e.g. DADA2), to human microbiome profiles, including microbial communities assayed in disease, animal models, cross-sectional and prospective human cohorts, and associated clinical phenotypes and/or environmental/lifestyle exposure metadata. These studies generally have the goal of identifying features of the microbiome (16S amplicon, shotgun metagenomic, and shotgun metatranscriptomic sequencing, yielding taxa, gene families, enzymes, and/or pathways) associated with various phenotypes, exposures, and/or outcomes. There will be regular interactions with internal and external contacts, including scientists, collaborators, postdocs, students, and clinicians and industry leaders.

(10) Postdoctoral Fellowship Position

Postdoc Fellowship Position summary/title: Postdoctoral Research Fellow

The Department of Epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health studies the frequency, distribution, and determinants of disease in humans, a fundamental science of public health. In addition to pursuing ground-breaking global research initiatives, we educate and prepare future medical leaders and practitioners as part of our mission to ignite positive changes in the quality of health across the world.

The fellow will work closely with Dr. Price, other quantitative Ph.D’s in his group, and collaborators at HSPH, HMS and The Broad Institute. The questions Dr. Price and collaborators aim to answer include:

(1) What is the contribution of different functional classes of genetic variation to the heritability of quantitative and case-control traits, and how does this inform disease association and polygenic prediction methods;
(2) How do common and rare variants contribute to the architecture of complex traits, accounting for the impact of negative selection, and how does this inform strategies for disease mapping and polygenic prediction using whole-genome sequencing data; and
(3) Which statistical approaches provide maximum power to identify disease genes and predict disease risk in diverse populations.

The fellow will be expected to conduct research on a range of topics in medical and population genetics, including the independent research interests that he or she will develop. It is expected that the fellow’s research will include work on genetic architectures of complex traits, a major focus of our group.

About Harvard University, USA – Official Website

Harvard University is a private Ivy League research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Established in 1636 and named for its first benefactor, clergyman John Harvard, Harvard is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States and among the most prestigious in the world.

The Massachusetts colonial legislature, the General Court, authorized Harvard’s founding. In its early years, Harvard College primarily trained Congregational and Unitarian clergy, although it has never been formally affiliated with any denomination. Its curriculum and student body were gradually secularized during the 18th century, and by the 19th century, Harvard had emerged as the central cultural establishment among the Boston elite. Following the American Civil War, President Charles William Eliot’s long tenure (1869–1909) transformed the college and affiliated professional schools into a modern research university; Harvard became a founding member of the Association of American Universities in 1900. James B. Conant led the university through the Great Depression and World War II; he liberalized admissions after the war.

The university is composed of ten academic faculties plus the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study. Arts and Sciences offers study in a wide range of academic disciplines for undergraduates and for graduates, while the other faculties offer only graduate degrees, mostly professional. Harvard has three main campuses: the 209-acre (85 ha) Cambridge campus centered on Harvard Yard; an adjoining campus immediately across the Charles River in the Allston neighborhood of Boston; and the medical campus in Boston’s Longwood Medical Area. Harvard’s endowment is valued at $41.9 billion, making it the largest of any academic institution. Endowment income helps enable the undergraduate college to admit students regardless of financial need and provide generous financial aid with no loans.[ The Harvard Library is the world’s largest academic library system, comprising 79 individual libraries holding about 20.4 million items.

Harvard has more alumni, faculty, and researchers who have won Nobel Prizes (161) and Fields Medals (18) than any other university in the world and more alumni who have been members of the U.S. Congress, MacArthur Fellows, Rhodes Scholars (375), and Marshall Scholars (255) than any other university in the United States. Its alumni also include eight U.S. presidents and 188 living billionaires, the most of any university. Fourteen Turing Award laureates have been Harvard affiliates. Students and alumni have also won 10 Academy Awards, 48 Pulitzer Prizes, and 108 Olympic medals (46 gold), and they have founded many notable companies.
