Job Summary

Perform as an independent scientist: design and pursue computationally-focused biomedical research, assist with manuscript and grant writing, prepare and give scientific presentations, mentor and train other lab members, help shape the research directions and culture of the lab.

 

It is expected that the research will be primarily focused on using computation (e.g., machine learning, bioinformatics, and mathematical modeling) to better understand the mammalian circadian system. The successful candidate will play a critical role in fulfilling the broad goals of the lab's recently funded NIH grant: 


(1) develop new methods to measure the circadian system in single cells and in humans living in the real world 

(2) use publicly available data to understand how the circadian clocks in each organ communicate with one another

(3) use data from electronic medical records to explore the link between the circadian system and human phenotypes.

 

The lab has a rich set of collaborators, from experimental biologists to clinical researchers. Depending on the candidate's background and interest, there is the opportunity to help design wet-lab experiments or human studies and to analyze the resulting data.

 

The Hughey Lab is part of the Department of Biomedical Informatics and the Vanderbilt Center for Precision Medicine.

Basic Qualifications

Strong candidates will have a PhD or equivalent in a quantitative / computational field and experience with biological or clinical data.
 
Individuals with a PhD in the biological sciences and a strong quantitative background will also be considered.
 
Previous experience in circadian rhythms is not necessary. More important than having any particular technical skills, the individual must be hard-working, creative, and eager to learn.
