POSITION DESCRIPTION:
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), Laboratory of
Epidemiology and Populations Sciences located in
Baltimore, MD, is seeking a talented and highly motived
postdoctoral fellow to conduct population-based research
in the field of sleep and aging epidemiology. The
successful applicant will join the Sleep Health and
Aging-Related Phenotypes (SHARP) Unit led by Dr. Tianyi
Huang at the NIA Intramural Research Program (IRP). The
research of the SHARP Unit focuses on elucidating the
connection between sleep health and aging-related
diseases, integrating traditional epidemiology approaches,
multi-omics analysis, and advanced wearable technology.
The postdoctoral fellow will work directly with Dr. Huang,
and the primary responsibilities include: (1) lead data
analysis in several longitudinal cohort studies, such as
the UK Biobank, All of Us, Multi-Ethnic Study of
Atherosclerosis, Nurses’ Health Studies and Honolulu-Asia
Aging Study; (2) present results at scientific meetings
and prepare manuscript for publication; and (3) provide
assistance and support to the daily research activities of
the SHARP unit and the Laboratory. The fellow will work
with a multidisciplinary team, consisting of
epidemiologists, biostatisticians, translational
scientists and clinicians. The successful applicant is
also encouraged to develop new scientific questions that
align with the research direction of the Unit and gain
experience in grant writing. Opportunities for mentoring
postbaccalaureate or summer students will be available.
