Job Description:
MSCA-PF2023: Genomics of Cardiovascular Disease at Aragon Institute for Engineering Research (I3A-University of Zaragoza)
The Biomedical Signal Interpretation and Computational Simulation (BSICoS) group at the University of Zaragoza is seeking a highly motivated and talented Postdoctoral Fellow to join their team for the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship (MSCA-PF) in 2023. The successful candidate will contribute to the project focusing on the functional characterization of candidate genes for cardiovascular risk markers, with a specific emphasis on malignant ventricular arrhythmias.
The key responsibilities of the postdoctoral fellow will include:
- Identifying rare variants associated with cardiovascular risk markers.
- Fine-mapping credible sets of common and rare variants to prioritize candidate effector genes.
- Generating transgenic lines of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to perform functional characterization of the prioritized effector genes.
Eligibility/Qualification: To be eligible for this position, candidates must meet the following criteria:
- Hold a PhD in Statistics, Statistics Genetics, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field obtained less than 8 years prior to the call deadline (September 13th, 2023).
- Have relevant journal publications and be the main author.
- Possess expertise in programming, computational modeling, and/or signal processing.
- Strong oral and written communication skills in English.
- Experience in Python, Matlab, or R programming is preferred.
- Candidates must have lived in Spain for less than 12 months prior to the call deadline.
How to Apply: Interested candidates are required to submit a cover letter and a 2-page CV to Dr. Julia Ramírez (Julia.Ramirez@unizar.es) before June 30th, 2023
