Academic/Faculty

Internal Number: 121225

The Division of Neuroimmunology in the Department of Neurology at Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC) is a hub for large-scale clinical, translational, and basic human studies that integrate rigorous application of advanced laboratory techniques with cutting-edge computational methods and biostatistics. The division includes 10 faculty members, including 5 clinician-scientists and four staff scientists, with expertise ranging from biostatistics, neuroimaging, computational biology, statistical genetics, and molecular biology. We are looking to add another biostatistician to our team. Thematically, we pursue projects related to Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, neurodegeneration, cognitive resilience and immune and brain aging. The team member in this position will collaborate with the division’s faculty members to design new studies and contribute to the execution of the analysis plan of ongoing studies; she/he/they will also have the opportunity to develop independent projects. Teaching the division’s graduate students and post-doctoral fellows is encouraged. The nature of projects will vary widely (based on lead investigator) but frequently involves high-dimensional data generation, and so experience working with transcriptomics or other omics data is a plus, as is working closely with clinicians and computational biologists. Projects are typically performed in teams which assemble the requisite expertise among the division’s scientists.
