Job Description:
Principal Investigator, Ruowang Li, PhD, is looking for a
Postdoctoral Scientist to join the Department of Computational
Biomedicine! The Department of Computational Biomedicine reflects
Cedars-Sinai's commitment to advancing medical discovery and the
recognition of the foundational role complex data plays in our
research and clinical care. We are recruiting multiple postdoctoral
research fellows in the newly established Department of
Computational Biomedicine at the Cedars Sinai Medical Center
(CSMC). We welcome applications from highly motivated candidates
who enjoy innovative thinking. Including a cover letter and
publication examples are preferred, but not required. Are you ready
to be a part of breakthrough research? The Postdoc will join the
research group of Dr. Ruowang Li and is expected to collaborate
with investigators within and beyond Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The Postdoc will work at the intersection of Biomedical
Informatics, Human Genetics, and Machine Learning/Statistical
Modeling. The main areas of research include, but are not limited
to, methods development in constructing new polygenic risk scores
(PRS) that can model higher-order complexities and improve
transferability across different populations, in integrating data
of large-scale population-level data, e.g., biobank-linked
electronic health record data (EHR), in identifying causal effects
through mendelian randomization analysis. The group has extensive
experience in working with biobank-linked EHR and PRS (Li. et al.
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2021), data integration (Li. et al. Nature
Communication, 2021; Ritchie. et al. Nature Reviews Genetics,
2015), and biomedical informatics (Li. et al. JAMIA 2019a, 2019b).
The fellow will have access to a number of large-scale datasets,
including up to five million of not-previously-analyzed patients'
records in the CSMC systems. This unique opportunity provides the
Postdoc the ability to perform highly original and innovative
research. To learn more, please visit R. Li Research Lab
Cedars-Sinai . Working independently but in close cooperation and
in consultation with Dr. Li and other Research scientists, the
Postdoctoral Scientist will perform routine and complex
computational, mathematical, and statistical procedures throughout
the training period. As a Postdoctoral Scientist, you may develop,
adapt, and implement new research techniques, and protocols, as
well as analyze, interpret, summarize, and compile data. Primary
