Full Job Description

Department

BSD HGD - Ober Lab

About the Department

The central intellectual theme of our department is to understand the roles of genetics and epigenetics in patterning phenotypic variation in natural populations and in human evolution, health, and disease. We bring together faculty and students with diverse perspectives and expertise who are united by a shared passion for understanding genetic variation and drawing out the insights it can provide on gene regulatory mechanisms, evolutionary history, and health outcomes, across developmental stages and environmental contexts.

We foster collaborative research that integrates experimental discoveries with statistical modeling and bridges the gap between basic and translational research to ultimately inform strategies for precision medicine.

Job Summary

Research in the Ober Lab focuses on understanding the role of genetic variation and environmental exposures in shaping risk for asthma and allergic diseases, with the goal of identifying molecular targets for treatment or early intervention. To this end, we integrate genetic studies with gene expression and epigenetic marks (e.g., DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility) in cells that are relevant to asthma and allergy. Our studies are primarily conducted in birth cohorts of children who are deeply characterized with respect to their environmental exposures and clinical outcomes in early life and childhood, or in cross-sectional cohorts recruited for specific studies. This position will engage in laboratory research activities to generate molecular data as well as in the analysis and interpretation of those data.

Responsibilities

Performs experiments and collects and analyzes data. Participates in the promotion of a research project.
Participates in the preparation and writing of grant applications and reports, and co-authors/authors scientific research manuscripts. Provides peer review of grant applications and scientific manuscripts.

Ability to maintain calm and courteous demeanor and to work productively despite heavy workload, competing priorities, complex problems, and tight deadlines.
Excellent problem-solving skills required. Ability to use appropriate resources to resolve an issue.
