Full Job Description

Faculty

Description

University of Colorado Anschutz

Department: Pharmacology

Job Title: Postdoctoral Fellow/Trainee

Position #00848177 – Requisition #39967

Job Summary:

As a postdoctoral research fellow, this position will be responsible for developing and executing research plans designed in collaboration with a talented team of faculty, postdocs, and graduate students. While this position reports directly to Dr. James Costello in the Department of Pharmacology, this position will be in collaboration with the labs of Drs. Greene and Pividori in the Department of Biomedical Informatics. This position will be funded through a grant supported by the NIH, INCLUDE (INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE) Project. The ideal candidate will have a background in multi-omic data processing, analysis, and modeling, with a strong interest in understanding molecular mechanisms of disease. Research plans will include the development of novel computational/biostatistical/machine learning methods for the integration of multiple, diverse dataset and the synthesis of hypotheses around the molecular mechanisms that drive the co-occurring condition of interest. It is expected that this position will publish academic research articles and contribute to lab efforts in mentoring students, grant writing, and manuscript review.

Key Responsibilities:

The job is focused on research training at the postdoctoral research fellow level, which includes:

Develop collaborative research projects with the research team from the Costello, Greene, and Pividori labs.

Develop novel computational methods and models to disentangle the link between the triplication of chromosome 21 and co-occurring conditions in Down syndrome.

Write research manuscripts for publication in top journals.

Present research findings at local, national, and international conferences and meetings.

Supervise and mentor graduate students on the research projects developed in this position.

Work Location:

Hybrid – this role is eligible for a hybrid schedule of 3 days per week on campus and as needed for in-person meetings.

Why Join Us:

The Costello lab and the Department of Pharmacology have a long history of successful and NIH funded research. The Department was recently ranked 4th in the country by the Blue Ridge Rankings and Dr. Costello is in the to 10% of researchers nationally. This position will be highly collaborative, so the position will gain training experience by working with the Greene and Pividori labs, who are leaders in their fields of machine learning, computational biology, and statistical genetics. This position will have opportunities to lead their own research projects, develop collaborative projects, publish manuscripts, attend and present at national/international meetings, and help address fundamental questions in understanding the link between the triplication of chromosome 21 and the variable spectrum of co-occurring conditions that arise in Down syndrome. The position will also have opportunities to get engaged with the Linda Crnic Institute for Down syndrome research at CU Anschutz, a leader in Down syndrome research internationally. With over 100 researchers supported through the Crnic Institute, CU Anschutz is an active and engaging research environment for Down syndrome research.

After completion of this position, a successful candidate will produced high-quality, publishable research while taking increasing ownership of scientific projects and developing independence as an investigator. This position will contribute to the design, execution, and analysis of studies, often leading projects and collaborating across interdisciplinary teams. In addition to advancing research, this position will have mentored junior trainees, supported lab operations, and contributed to manuscript and grant development. Completion of this position will prepare the person in this position for the next career stage in academia, industry, or related fields.
