What are the responsibilities and job description for the Data Science - Post-Doctoral Fellow NHGRI, NIH position at National Institutes of Health and Careers?
The laboratory of Dr. Sean Mooney is recruiting postdoctoral positions within the Center for Genomics and Data Science Research at the National Human Genome Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland. Dr. Mooney joined the NIH from the University of Washington in 2024. His research group has broad interests in data science and artificial intelligence in biomedicine, clinical informatics, and in developing new methods to predict and characterize pathogenic genetic variants on the human genome.
About the position
Dr. Mooney's group participates in the organization of data science challenges focused on difficult problems in biomedical research such as Critical Assessments and DREAM Challenges. This role will focus on leveraging real world data to improve our ability to characterize and predict patient phenotype using multimodal datasets with clinical applications. A strong candidate would have interests in applying artificial intelligence methods into healthcare for the purposes of clinical decision support. Strong computational skills are required and experience with clinical research is a plus. The position will require strong collaboration skills as well as a desire to learn new and innovative computational techniques to address this problem.
