About The Position
Emory University is a leading research university that fosters excellence and attracts world-class talent to innovate today and prepare leaders for the future. We welcome candidates who can contribute to the excellence of our academic community. The Department of Epidemiology at the Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, invites applications for the Biostatistician position. The successful candidate will contribute to NIH/NIA-funded projects which focus on investigating the multi-omics perturbations associated with complex environmental toxicants and their contribution to Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias. The candidate will work closely with Dr. Anke Huels and Dr. Donghai Liang on projects related to environmental and molecular epidemiology of Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias. Despite the observed epidemiological evidence linking environmental pollutants, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposures and Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD), we still lack a deep understanding of the neurotoxicity of the specific PM2.5 components and the molecular mechanisms involved. By using innovative targeted and untargeted exposure assessment, single- and multi-omics analysis, and cross-tissue approaches, our primary objective is to offer valuable insights into how individual PM2.5 pollutants and mixtures interact with biological responses across epigenome, proteome, and metabolome, ultimately contributing to our understanding of AD/ADRD. This knowledge can aid future endeavors aimed at shaping environmental regulations and health policies to reduce the risk of AD/ADRD associated with air pollution.
