Apply for this role (opens in a new tab)Postdoctoral Research FellowMayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, is seeking a postdoctoral research fellow in human genetics, computational genomics, or bioinformatics to work with Dr. Joseph Cheung on an emerging research program at the intersection of genetics, sleep, and autism. Mayo Clinic is a world-class health care organization, with cutting-edge research programs. The program investigates genetic contributions to neurodevelopmental conditions and sleep phenotypes, including individuals with unresolved genetic etiologies. The fellow will analyze whole-exome and whole-genome sequencing data, develop reproducible analytical workflows, and integrate genomic findings with clinical phenotypes. Projects may include rare-variant prioritization, family-based analyses, reanalysis of unresolved cases, and genotype–phenotype studies. The position offers opportunities to develop independent research questions, lead manuscripts, and contribute to grant applications.
