The Tewhey Lab seeks a highly motivated Postdoctoral Associate to investigate genetic mechanisms underlying human complex traits, particularly the role of genetic variation in gene regulatory function. The position involves using high-throughput genetic techniques like MPRA and CRISPR-based screens, characterizing non-coding genomic regions, and developing computational models to predict cis-regulatory element activity. The researcher will also explore how genetic variation impacts immune, metabolic, and aging-related phenotypes, and apply machine learning to develop synthetic gene regulatory elements for therapeutic applications.
