Post-Doctoral Researcher in Computational Genomics

Overview

The Pouget Lab is seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow in computational genomics and data science to study how genetic variation shapes neurodevelopment and vulnerability to psychosis.

Our lab integrates large-scale human genomic data with multimodal, single-cell resolution molecular profiling of brain and peripheral immune cells to (1) discover molecular mechanisms of psychiatric disorders, (2) refine biologically grounded disease subtypes and therapeutic targets, and (3) develop scalable biomarkers for precision psychiatry.

Ongoing projects include:

• Predictive modelling of psychosis symptom trajectories in large youth cohorts
• Integrative analysis of multimodal sequencing data, including paired single-nucleus RNA-seq + ATAC-seq from postmortem human brain and peripheral blood samples
• Whole genome sequencing in clinical populations to inform genetic testing guidelines
