We are seeking a talented postdoctoral researcher with experience in Epidemiology and human genetics research. You will be responsible for conducting and disseminating high-quality translational research concerned with improving the evidence base for the prevention and treatment of pregnancy-related complications, such as miscarriages, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, preterm birth and perinatal depression. In particular, this post will involve integrating common and rare genetic variants to (i) transform the current understanding of molecular pathways leading to pregnancy complications and (ii) identify potential drug targets to manage these conditions. You will be part of a cohesive, friendly and diverse team working within the MR-PREG collaboration, including data for > 400,000 mothers on clinical outcomes, genetics, and other omics (i.e. DNA methylation, proteomics, metabolomics, and placenta transcriptomics in subsets of participants). In addition, you will closely engage with several international partners, particularly Prof. Frayling (University of Geneva), Assoc. Prof. Kutalik (University of Lausanne), Prof. Evans (University of Queensland) and Dr. Moen (University of Oslo). For more information, please contact Carolina Borges ([email protected]).
