 Position Summary The Postdoctoral Researcher will support a multidisciplinary research program focused on understanding the genomic and molecular mechanisms underlying 9p-related syndromes. Under the supervision of the Principal Investigator (PI) Dr. Tychele Turner, the fellow will contribute to multiple project aims by generating, analyzing, and interpreting genomic and
multi-omic datasets; integrating genomic findings with clinical phenotypes; and supporting functional studies to evaluate relevant genes and variants associated with chromosome 9p disorders. The Postdoc will work closely with the PI and collaborate with multidisciplinary research and clinical teams to advance gene discovery and elucidate disease mechanisms. This position provides advanced training and mentorship at
the interface of human genomics, rare disease research, and functional biology while supporting the successful execution of the funded research program. Job Description Primary Duties & Responsibilities: Information on being a postdoc at WashU in St. Louis can be found at https://postdoc.wustl.edu/prospective-postdocs-2/ . Trains under the supervision of a faculty mentor including (but not limited to): Assist with
grant preparation and reporting. Collaborate with the Principal Investigator and multidisciplinary research team to plan experiments, interpret findings, prepare manuscripts, present research findings, and contribute to grant-related activities. Assist in the design of research experiments. Design, conduct, and optimize molecular biology and functional genomics experiments to investigate the molecular mechanisms
underlying chromosome 9p-related syndromes, including validation of relevant genes and variants using appropriate cellular and molecular approaches. Analyze, interpret, and integrate genomic and multi-omic datasets with clinical phenotype information to identify and prioritize relevant genes, variants, and disease mechanisms. Maintain conformity with ethical standards in research. Maintain accurate research records,
prepare reports, ensure compliance with laboratory and institutional policies, and contribute to overall laboratory operations. Engage in open and timely discussion with their mentor regarding possession or distribution of material, reagents, or records belonging to their laboratory and any proposed disclosure of findings or techniques privately or in publications. Mentor graduate, undergraduate, and/or research
