Postdoctoral Fellow – Genetic Epidemiology

*Postdoctoral Fellow – Genetic Epidemiology* Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Nutrition University of Maryland School of Medicine Baltimore, Maryland *Position Description:* The Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes, and Nutrition (EDN) at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore (UMB), is recruiting a computational Postdoctoral Fellow in the field of geneticepidemiology. This position offers an exciting opportunity to work with large epidemiological datasets on African populations, contributing to cutting-edge research aimed at disentangling the determinants and underlying mechanisms of cardiometabolic diseases in these populations. African ancestry populations are disproportionally affected by cardiometabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity. The reasons for this disproportionate burden are poorly understood, but they are thought to result from a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. African-ancestry populations ...
