Additionally, through the newly launched Mount Sinai Million Health Discoveries Program, which aims to enroll one million racially and ethnically diverse patients in the next five years, we plan to advance precision medicine research and improve patient care. This position offers a unique opportunity to develop and lead genomic research using cutting edge health systems data.

Qualifications:

• Candidates should have a PhD or PhD/MD in population genetics, computer science, statistical genetics, bioinformatics, computational genomics, or a related field and the ability to work well in collaborative environments.
• MDs with substantial computational experience will also be considered
• Knowledge of theoretical population genetics, complex trait mapping, population- based biobanks, and/or next-gen sequencing is a plus.
• Proficiency in programming in R, Python, and shell scripting is essential. Other programming expertise (such as machine learning) is highly desired.
• Preference will be given to candidates with a strong publication record, evidence of substantial research productivity, and ability to successfully communicate scientific information.
• Excellent English written and spoken skills are necessary.

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to do research in a multi-disciplinary environment at the cutting edge of genomics that includes experts in computer science, population genetics, functional genetics, and genomic medicine.
• Full access to the BioMe biobank, a germline DNA repository of over 60,000 Mount Sinai patients linked to clinical, demographic, imaging, and lifestyle data for highly diverse participants from New York City
• Access to many other large genomic datasets via a large network of international collaborations
• A culture that promotes health equity by building resources, knowledge, and best practices for genomic discovery and translation in diverse and underserved populations.
• A diverse STEM workforce and a supportive lab environment
• Regular career development mentorship
• A health system that promotes data integration, broad data sharing among researchers and access to state-of-the-art high performance compute ecosystem.
• Working in New York City, in close proximity to Central Park
