The Talent Acquisition department hires qualified candidates to fill positions which contribute to the overall strategic success of Howard University. Hiring staff “for fit” makes significant contributions to Howard University’s overall mission.At Howard University, we prioritize well-being and professional growth.* ***Work-Life Balance:*** PTO, paid holidays, flexible work arrangements* ***Financial Wellness:*** Competitive salary, 403(b) with company match* ***Professional Development:*** Ongoing training, tuition reimbursement, and career advancement paths**Join Howard University and thrive with us!** A BASIC FUNCTION:SUPERVISORY ACCOUNTABILITY:N/ANATURE AND SCOPE:PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTABILITIES:As a postdoctoral researcher in genomics and quantum biology, your responsibilities will include :* Designing studies, conducting genomic sequencing (including whole genome sequencing, Sanger sequencing, and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping).* Analyzing data, interpreting findings, and publishing and presenting results. Additionally, you will work collaboratively with others to address health disparities in research.* Research projects in this field often require a multidisciplinary approach, combining genomics, epidemiology, bioinformatics, and social sciences to comprehensively analyze the complex contributing factors to health disparities.* As part of your research, you may work with large-scale genomic datasets, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), next-generation sequencing data, or electronic health records, to identify genetic variants or biomarkers that may be associated with health disparities.* In addition to your research responsibilities, you may be assigned other related duties as needed.* Like other postdoctoral positions, the typical duration of a postdoctoral position in genomics and health disparities ranges from one to three years, depending on performance and renewal of funding.* During this time, you are expected to advance your research skills, publish your work, and build a strong foundation for your future career.* Participate actively and communicate effectively in a leadership role during lab/group meetings, seminars, and scientific conferences. Coordinate on-site and virtual meetings/lectures as needed.CORE COMPETENCIES:* Manage time and project(s) well with personal initiative. Mentor trainees and perform job-related administrative tasks as assigned.* Travel as needed to collaborate on project objectives.* Write well scientifically, including in the preparation of regular reports, manuscripts for publication, and grant proposals.* Organize seminars and lecture series for the project and for the wider NHGC and QBL communities.* Be responsive to communications from the PI and able to take direction.MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:
