Open Postdoctoral position, faculty mentor Matthew Wheeler

The Katz and Wheeler Labs are seeking a postdoctoral scholar to engage in high impact bioinformatic and multi-omic research in the field of cardiovascular health and disease. Specifically, work will focus on analysis and integration of high dimensional multi-omic data with metrics of exercise performance in the Molecular Transducers of Physical Activity Consortium (MoTrPAC) and related studies, including data from both human and animal studies. Applicants with bioinformatics, multi-omics, and computational biology experience are desirable, and highly qualified applicants will have experience with cloud computing and web interface development.
Our group engages in diverse work across the spectrum of investigation, spanning computational dry lab expertise in proteomics, metabolomics, transcriptomics, genetics, bioinformatics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, offering varied avenues for mentoring and professional development. Multiple opportunities exist for national collaboration in a variety of consortia including not only MoTrPAC, but also the Common Fund Data Ecosystem and the Undiagnosed Disease Network.
Key research avenues include:
1. Integration of Common Fund Data Ecosystem datasets to identify candidate exercise mimetic drugs (i.e. "exercise in a pill")
2. Development of cloud-based infrastructures for data browsing, interactivity, and discovery, in MoTrPAC and others
3. Additional avenues of work to be determined with the applicant
