About The Position
The Mullins Lab at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow with a PhD in Statistical Genetics, Computational Biology or a similar field, to lead statistical genetic studies of suicide phenotypes. The Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Suicide Working Group is the world’s largest resource for conducting genetic studies of suicidality and aims to elucidate the genetic etiology of suicide outcomes through large-scale genetic studies of common and rare variants, characterization of the shared and distinct genetic architectures of suicide outcomes, elucidation of genetic heterogeneity within suicide outcomes with respect to sex and ancestry, identification of biologically relevant pathways, tissues and cell-types, and exploration of potential causal relationships with modifiable risk factors. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also work on projects in the Mount Sinai Million Health Discoveries Program involving the analysis of genetic and clinical data.
