What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Fellow (Hood) position at Institute for Systems Biology (ISB)?
The Hood group is seeking an outstanding Postdoctoral Fellow to work as part of an interdisciplinary
team that uses animal and human data to understand the biological underpinnings of longevity and
scientific wellness, and to develop potential interventions that extend healthspan.
We are seeking applicants with diverse skillsets in systems biology and computational modeling, along with familiarity with the biology of aging. This position may have opportunities to collaborate as a participant in the
Longevity Consortium, a multidisciplinary, inter-institutional research team funded by the NIA. Several
large, multi-omic datasets are being developed by the Consortium, including mass-spectrometry based
proteomics and metabolomics of mouse tissues and serum, and human serum. With phenotypic
information, and external datasets, these data will be used to define the pathways that are critical for
longevity and related outcomes. Opportunities to contribute to other projects related more generally to
scientific wellness also exist. Major emphases will include identifying proteomic and metabolomic
signatures that are associated with longevity and scientific wellness, as well as using systems-oriented
methods to identify the major pathways involved. This effort will require creative use of state-of-the-art
data integration, harmonization and statistical approaches. Exceptional candidates will be considered for
the Lee Hood Systems Fellows Program.
Qualifications: Applicants must have (or soon be granted) a PhD, and successful candidates will
have cross-disciplinary training in systems biology, computational biology, biostatistics, applied
mathematics, or a related field. Experience with human research is desired but not required.
Strong analytical skills, a track record demonstrating scientific creativity, excellent communication skills,
and the potential to thrive in an interdisciplinary research environment are essential.
Applicants should include a CV and a brief (one page) cover letter summarizing their background and
future research interests.
All ISB staff members are expected to have baseline technical skills and the ability to communicate effectively and appropriately over email, the intranet/forum, etc. Employees should be able to use Word, Excel, Outlook and PowerPoint at a functional level.
