About this position
Yale School of Medicine | Adams Center for Parkinson’s Disease Research | New Haven, USA
Join a mission-driven team at Yale to build a Parkinson’s Disease Discovery Engine—integrating genomics, multi-omics, and AI to generate digital twins of patients and deliver precision medicines at the right time for the right individual.
The Stephen & Denise Adams Center for Parkinson’s Disease Research and Scherzer Neurogenomics Lab combine population-scale human data (>30,000 deeply phenotyped participants), single-cell and spatial omics, and next-generation AI models of gene regulation and disease progression. Our work is redefining Parkinson’s disease biology and enabling translational breakthroughs.
The role
- Develop deep learning models across genome → cell → patient
- Integrate multi-modal data (genomics, transcriptomics, biosensors, EHR)
- Perform single-cell and spatial multi-omics analyses at scale
- Lead high-impact publications and contribute to therapeutic discovery
You bring
- PhD in computer science, bioinformatics, computer science, or related field
- Strong coding skills (Python required; ML frameworks preferred)
- First-author publication(s)
- Experience in genomics, single-cell data, or machine learning (preferred)
Why this is exceptional
- Build next-generation AI models of the human genome
- Work with one of the richest longitudinal PD datasets worldwide
- Operate at the interface of AI, genomics, and clinical translation
- Join an interdisciplinary team spanning neurology, genetics, and machine learning
Compensation
Highly competitive salary exceeding top-tier U.S. postdoctoral benchmarks, with full Yale benefits and strong support for career development and independence.
