Psychiatry Quantitative Genetics Research at Pitt
Department of Psychiatry · University of Pittsburgh
We develop statistical and computational methods to address theoretical and technical challenges in multimodal, multi-trait, and cross-ancestry genetic analysis.
Our work integrates EHR-derived phenotypes, longitudinal clinical measurements, and genetic data to study shared genetic architecture across psychiatric and non-psychiatric traits.
Current opportunity
Postdoctoral position in Statistical Genetics
The lab is recruiting a postdoctoral researcher interested in developing statistical and computational methods for EHR-informed quantitative genetics. The position offers opportunities to work with large-scale biobank and health-system datasets, including Our Future Health, UK Biobank, All of Us, and eMERGE.
The trainee will study the complex interconnected structure among traits and diseases through active collaborative projects, with possible methodological focus areas including trait correlation, multimodal and multi-trait risk estimation, and identifying and addressing confounders.
