In addition, the postdoctoral scholar will have the opportunity to contribute to additional research projects, possibly including longitudinal assessments of patient-outcomes and associations with patient characteristics and survival; prediction of survival outcomes using high dimensional DNA methylation data; and mediation analyses with survival endpoints (depending on level of interest). The candidate will be encouraged to develop their own personal research goals within the context of the existing health disparities research program and will work with mentors to achieve these goals.

This is a one-year term position with the possibility of extension based on performance.
